Answer:
Lightning are electrical discharge which occurs when positively charged particles in the clouds come in contact with negatively charged particles.
A lightning conductor is a metal rod fixed at the highest part of a building and running down the wall of the building with the end buried deep into the earth. The electrical discharge of lightning is captured and carried safely by this rod into the ground and prevent the building from being damage.
