Prompt resuscitation can save such a person’s life. As it can interfere with the electrical circuitry of the heart, a common reason for death by lightning strike is cardiac arrest. Some are left with nerve damage, others with scars on their body. Surprisingly, although the amount of electricity discharged is massive, most people who get struck by lightning will survive. The rumbling effect is created as sound waves get generated at multiple points along the length of the lightning streak. This generates a deafening noise, which we hear as thunderclap. As a result, a large number of superheated air molecules gets pushed sideways, colliding with other air molecules in the area.

The sudden discharge of electricity in the form of a streak of lightning heats up the adjacent air to temperatures over 50,000 F, which is even hotter than the surface of the sun. Occasionally, it can travel upwards from tall structures on the ground to the clouds. In addition to cloud-to-ground lightning, it is also common for lightning to travel between clouds-this is called cloud-to-cloud lightning. This massive spark of electricity is seen as lightning. Just as a rubber band that is slowly getting stretched will break abruptly in the end, the attraction between the opposing charges eventually overcomes the air resistance and the charges rush towards each other completing the electrical circuit. This can be likened to the gradual stretching of a rubber band. Because air is a poor conductor of electricity, initially nothing happens, and electrical charges continue to build up further. At the same time, opposing charge builds up on the ground far below. Negatively charged particles gravitate to the bottom half of the cloud. The formation of a thunderstorm involves rapid movement of air at low temperatures, the cloud particles becoming charged in the process. This article is written to explain the fascinating science behind lightning, debunk some popular myths and to discuss how we can stay safe.
