It depends on how hard you got struck. The most probably outcome is that you die. The second most probable outcome is the you get burned and/or go into cardiac arrest. There are some survivors. I was one. What happened to me was that I was suddenly in a dream state. Everything was white, and felt like cotton. I felt no pain, not even when coming out of it. I was lucky. I did not see, hear, or feel the lightening strike. I did develop a migraine soon after, say about five minutes later, and then they took me to the hospital, where they found carbon tracks on my ankles.

What would happen if a lighting rod were made of an insulation material rather than conducting material?

If a lightning rod were made of an insulating material instead of a conducting material, it would not be able to effectively conduct the electrical charge from a lightning strike into the ground. As a result, the building or structure would be at a higher risk of damage from the electrical discharge. Lightning rods are designed to provide a path of least resistance for the lightning to follow, helping to protect the structure by redirecting the electrical current safely into the ground.

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.

Why would lightning storms change the direction of a ships compass needle?

Lightning can create a strong magnetic field when it strikes a ship, causing the ship's compass needle to temporarily change direction. The intense electromagnetic field generated by the lightning can interfere with the magnetic field that the compass relies on for navigation. Once the lightning subsides, the compass should return to its normal direction.

What would happen if lightning struck a meteor?

The lightning would travel through the meteor or through the plasma sheath around it. Some of the surface of the meteor may melt, though this will happen to a meteor anyway. Otherwise the meteor would be unaffected. The stress of atmospheric entry is much greater than any stress created by the lightning.


Can you get struck by lightning at sea and would you die?

Yes, it is possible to get struck by lightning at sea. If struck, the severity of the injuries would depend on various factors such as the strength of the lightning, where it strikes the body, and the immediate medical attention received. It is possible to survive a lightning strike but it can be fatal in some cases.


What would happen if lightning struck a pool you were in?

What would happen if lightning struck a magnet?

If lightning struck a magnet, the magnet would not be affected much. Magnets are made of materials like iron or neodymium that are not easily damaged by heat. The lightning would likely dissipate through the metal without causing significant changes to the magnet's magnetic properties.
