Question

if air is the insulator of electricity then how does the lightning stricks the ground?? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

$\large{\red{\underline{\tt{Answer}}}}$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This is due to the principle of dielectric breakdown. During thunderstorms, the air between the cloud and the ground acts like a capacitor. When the electric field is high enough, the air partially ionizes, at which point there are free electrons to carry current and the air becomes, essentially, conductive.

Answer 2

Answer:

As air is a poor conductor or insulator of electricity, it tries to prevent lightning from striking the ground. But at one moment, the magnitude of current is so much that even air can not prevent the current from hitting the ground, and eventually, lightning strikes the ground.
