Question

Lightning strikes only on high rise buildings. Explain it

Answer 1

Lightning is an electric discharge. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges. The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The electrical charge at ground concentrates around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people, or single trees. The charge coming up from these points eventually connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds to the nearest point from the sky and lightning strikes. As tall buildings are closer to the sky, they strike on high rise buildings.
Hence, the statement is true.
