Question

Is lightning more likely to strike a short metal fence or a tall tree in the same area? why?

Answer 1

hi!
lightning is more likely to hit a tall tree in a an open space then a short metal fence because lightning more often hits higher objects. iron is a good conductor, but it only hits iron so often because we put it on top of roofs and towers, making it the highest object.

Answer 2

The tree because lightning often strikes the tallest object in the area.
