Why is a car or a bus safe place during lightening?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Because a car or a bus is insulated from the Earth.
💡 Explanation:
A car or a bus stand on rubber tyres. Rubber being an insulator, the body of car / bus stays separated or insulated from the Earth. So, it does not attract lightening. If we take shelter in a car / bus during lightening, there is no chance to be hit by the lightening.
