Answer:

⚫ Lightning strikes taller things more frequently. A lightning rod positioned at the top of a building, along with a conductor connecting it to the ground provides a path for the energy in a lightning strike to be funneled into the ground, bypassing the building, preventing damage to people and property.

⚫ The lightning rod is a simple device and is as effective at protecting trees as it is at protecting other structures such as barns. The metal of the lightning rod provides an even better conductor than the moisture in the trunk, so the lightning bolt is guided down to earth without injuring the tree.
