What else can I help you with?
The rubber soles of shoes or rubber tires on a car will protect you from being struck by lighting?
Rubber is a poor conductor of electricity, so wearing rubber-soled shoes or sitting in a car with rubber tires can help protect you from being struck by lightning. The rubber provides insulation, reducing the risk of electric shock in case of a lightning strike. However, it's still safest to stay indoors during a lightning storm.
What happens when lightning strikes water?
salt or fresh water? how far away is the lightning? salt water is more conductive so you will get hurt worse in the ocean than at a lake. this all depends on how close the lightning struck the water.
What part of speech is the word lightning?
"Lightning" is a noun. Sometimes people try to use it as an adjective to mean "fast" (ex, "with lightning speed") but it really should be used as "like lighting" or "lightning-fast" or so on.
Where does lightning separate into syllables?
Light ning. Some people try to make it 3 syllables (light n ing) but it really is two
What happen when tornado and lightning happen at the same time?
Tornadoes and lightning can occur simultaneously during severe thunderstorms. If a tornado and lightning occur at the same time, the combination can increase the potential dangers and risks associated with the storm. Lightning can strike the tornado itself or nearby, causing additional hazards like fires, property damage, and injuries.
Impact on fish by lightning?
Not much really. A few unhappy creatures who are too close to lightning strikes may die, but that's about it.
Is it really true that the lightning strikes first before the thunder or the lightning and thunder strikes together but only the lightning seems to be first because of it's speed of light?
Lightning does indeed strike first, as thunder is the sound created by lightning. According to Wikipedia, lightning heats the air surrounding it by large quantities, which in turn causes the air to expand and create a "Sonic wave" which is similar to a sonic boom.
Is thunder the sound lightning bolts make i really need help?
Thunder is the sound created by lightning. The sound is generated by rapidly expanding gas near the electric arc of a lightning bolt.
Who is the inventor of lightning rod?
One inventor of the lightning rod was Benjamin Franklin. Another was a German priest, Diwisch. Both appear to have made their inventions in the same decade, around 1753. See "Who Really Invented The Lightning Rod?", The Electrical Review, volume 32, 10Feb1893, p.146.
What is Heavy rain showers with lightning?
Heavy rain showers with lightning occur when there is a significant amount of rainfall along with the presence of lightning strikes. This type of weather can be intense and may pose hazards such as flash flooding, strong winds, and the risk of lightning strikes. It is important to take precautions during heavy rain showers with lightning to ensure safety.
How can you protect homes from lightning?
There's really no need to. Usually all that will happen is the power will go out, maybe a few light bulbs fried.
Can lightning storms be predicted?
While lightning storms can be forecasted to some extent using weather data and radar technologies, predicting the exact timing and location of lightning strikes is still challenging. Meteorologists can identify conditions that are conducive to lightning, but the exact behavior of individual lightning bolts remains unpredictable.
Can Zeus strike us with a lightning bolt?
No, Zeus is a figure in Greek mythology and does not exist in reality. Lightning strikes are a natural phenomenon caused by electrical discharge in the atmosphere, and they can affect anyone in an area where a lightning storm is occurring.
Can earthquakes cause thunderstorms and lightning?
Earthquakes themselves do not directly cause thunderstorms and lightning. However, seismic activity can sometimes trigger small electrical discharges called "earthquake lights" that might be mistaken for lightning. Thunderstorms are typically caused by atmospheric conditions, not seismic activity.
What does BIL basic insulator level really mean and its differences with Impulse withstand voltage and power frequency withstand voltage?
BIL is basic insulation level as per you or in other words it would be "basic impulse level" which implies the limit up to which an insulator could withstand impulse due to lightning strikes. Impulse is generated on the insulation due to the high voltage surges and spikes due to lightning strikes. BIL is generally much higher as compared to power frequency withstand voltage. In other words BIL is lightning Impulse withstand voltage. Impulse withstand voltage is the voltage that is generated due to switching operation and it's much higher than power frequency withstand, but BIL or the lightning withstand voltage is a the voltage level that an insulation can withstand during surge or lightning strikes.
Did the lightning bird really exist?
no
Will lightning bounce of ruber?
No. Lightning is not really a physical object, so it doesn't "bounce".
