Wording of this Handout:


# Lightning hits the earth about 100 times every second.
# If all the lightning hitting the earth in one second was added up it would equal about 4 billion megawatts.
# An average lightning bolt lasts about one-fifth of a second (That means you could have 5 in one second).
# Lightning bolts happen in two stages: a tiny, skinny bolt, coming down, followed by a huge bolt going up.
# The second bolt travels at about 150,000 kph - half the speed of light.
# The temperature inside a bolt of lightning is about 30,000 degrees - or six times hotter than the sun.
# Lightning kills about 100 people every year in the USA.



Science Puzzle?

Answer:
Answer to science puzzle: What are you doing, going about with a bucket of hot water and chucking stones into it? Messy little child! But anyway, the answer is "You'll be waiting a long time" because water at 15 degrees Farenheit is actually frozen.
