The lightning rod is important because it directs lightning into the ground, therefore making it harmless and stopping it from striking anywhere else.
The image shows a lightning rod or a Franklin rod, which is a type of lightning protection system designed to protect buildings and structures from being damaged by lightning strikes. The rod is connected to a ground system to safely dissipate the electrical charge in case of a lightning strike.
Rod cells are sensitive to low light levels and respond to shades of light and dark, rather than specific colors. They are most active in dim lighting conditions and help with night vision.
It's a rod made out of a certain type of plastic, i have most commonly seen them used in science lessons at high school, if you rub them against a piece of fur they will become negatively charged because electrons from the fur travel into the perspex rod. hope that helps. alice.
A lightning rod provides a path of least resistance to direct lightning strikes away from a structure. When lightning strikes, the rod's conductive material safely carries the electrical current to the ground, preventing damage to the building. This helps protect the structure and its occupants from the destructive forces of a lightning strike.
A lightning rod is important for protecting buildings from lightning strikes because it provides a safe path for the electrical current from the lightning to travel to the ground, preventing damage to the building and reducing the risk of fire or injury.
It was important because it protceted you hoe during lighting storms.
Ben Franklin invented the lighting rod and helped start the Philadelphia fire department.

Yes.
Benjamin Franklin duhhh!!
