⚡ "A single bolt of lightning stretches five miles into the sky, carrying enough energy to power 56 houses. But despite its power, this natural wonder holds a strange ability to soothe—perhaps because deep down, we know predators hide during storms."

A lightning bolt can heat the air to 50,000°F—five times hotter than the sun's surface. Thunder is the sound of air expanding explosively after that sudden heat, creating a sonic boom. The cracking sound of lightning is the "most relaxing sound" for many, and evolutionary biologists speculate that we feel safe during storms because large predators seek shelter in the rain. Some cultures believed lightning could grant the power of clairvoyance or predict the future. Why does lightning appear purple or red? Atmospheric conditions scatter light, creating different colors, from pink to blue. Let these quiet, electric facts carry you into peaceful sleep.
