Is it safe to stay in the car when lightning strikes?

Answer 1

Well planes usually fly above storm clouds, so here is no actual chance of getting struck. Although cars have rubber wheels which does repel lightning. If you can it you would be indoors. also dont touch the metal on the airplane

Answer 2

Yes. See the simple explanation in the relevant answers below this vague off-topic and grammatically poor reply.

i dont know all the physics involved in such a situation, but i would assume since the car is metal it can conduct electricity which will make it more likely to be struck by lightening.

i would say the safest place to be is either in a basement or cellar that isn't prone to flooding.

if you dont have access to such a place the best thing to do is stay indoors and avoid windows, and electrical outlets.
