The spark of lightning can reach over five miles in length and can raise the temperature of the air by 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightning doesn't only occur in thunderstorms, but also in forest fires, volcanic eruptions and even snowstorms. One of the most dangerous places to stand during a thunderstorm is under a tree, and talking on the phone isn't a good idea either!
雷電的閃光可長達(dá)5英里同時可提高氣溫華氏 50000 度。閃電并不只發(fā)生在雷雨之際,也會發(fā)生在森林火災(zāi)，火山爆發(fā)和甚至暴風(fēng)雪期間。在雷雨來臨之際一個最危險的地方就是站在樹下，另外使用電話也不是一個好主意。
