ELI5 Lightning - why does it zig zag and not go straight down?
Manage episode 351702510 series 3433592
Why does lightning travel in a zig-zag rather than a straight line?So why does it strike precise points such as the end of a pole? If the average lightning bolt contains up to 1 billion volts, how is it that humans can survive being struck? How many times does the Empire State Building get stuck by lightning every year?
... We explain like i'm five!
