Question Asked: How Many Volts of Electricity Are In A Bolt of Lightning?
|
Sep 24th, 2009 |
The average lightning bolt produces about 900,000,000 volts of electricity. Some bigger strikes are believed to have produced up to twice that amount.
Obviously, this is a scientific guess, based on years of research. It’s near impossible to measure an actual lightning bolt.
900 million volts of electricity is enough to power an entire neighborhood of homes for roughly one week.
