Comparison Corner: How Water Affects Lightning's Power
Lightning’s Kryptonite: Water’s Electric-dampening Powers Lightning, a celestial spectacle of raw energy, meets its match in water. Electrons, the energetic building blocks of lightning, lose their spark in the face of H2O. Water’s molecules create a shield, blocking the free flow of electrons, effectively weakening lightning’s electrical presence. H2O’s Triumph Over Lightning: Unraveling the Resistance Water’s ability to thwart lightning lies in its intrinsic properties. Its non-metallic nature hinders electrical conduction, acting as an insulator....
