Hi thank you for asking the question
Copper is a good conductor of electricity and is used in lightning rods because all of the electricity pass through it
Lightning rods are installed to save places where lightning can fall and burn the places. The lightning rods take all the electricity and pass it to the ground
Hope this answer helps you
If it did kindly mark the answer as brainliest Thank you.

Copper wires are used as conductors because they
allow the flow of electric current with minimum loss of energy. Usually, thick
copper wires are chosen as lightning conductors because they primarily find
their use in tall buildings. The cable is designed to be very thick to allow
large current flow without melting. Also, there will be no damage when
lightning falls on the copper wire.
