Answer:

Lightning

Lightning is a giant spark of electricity in the atmosphere between clouds, the air, or the ground. ... Lightning causes thunder! Energy from a lightning channel heats the air briefly to around 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, much hotter than the surface of the sun.

Precautions

Avoid water during a thunderstorm. Lightning can travel through plumbing. Avoid electronic equipment of all types. Lightning can travel through electrical systems and radio and television reception systems.

✯Stay away from wire fences, clotheslines, metal pipes, rails and other metallic paths which could carry lightning to you from some distance away. Avoid standing in small isolated sheds or other small structures in open areas. In a forest, seek shelter in a low area under a thick growth of small trees.

Answer:

Lightning is the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud, accompanied by a bright flash and typically also thunder.

These are the two precautions

(1) We can take shelter in a building with lightning conductor.

(2) An open elevated place is not a safe place to be in. If in an open place, we should stay away from trees and poles.
