Why are taller buildings more prone to lightning?
Answers
✨Cloud-to-ground lightning strokes initiate high in thunderstorms, miles above the surface where ground objects have no effect. ... Extremely tall structures like towers and skyscapers are indeed more susceptible to strikes, because they significantly reduce the insulating air gap beween cloud and ground.✨
taller buildings are nearer to the sky level than the shorter ones. when lightning strikes, the taller buildings, mostly those which have satellite connections fitted or any such metal wiring, are more prone.
Taller buildings are more closer to clouds. The buildings have metallic poles and structures which provides a low resistance path for electric discharge. Hence taller buildings are more prone to lightning.
