Question:

i dont understand how lightning rods work?

okay, ive noticed that at theme parks and schools and public areas they install lightning rods on the roof to suposedly keep away the lightning, so i figured id try to understand how it works, what ive come up with is that lightning is negative and poitive charges colliding and making the spark so they instead of grounding the lightning rods give them a positive charge, since oposites attract and same repel, is that correct? if not how does the lightning rods work?

Answer:

Lightning can strike both, however, a house is generally made of wood and wood products and subject to burn down; whereas in a car, the lightning will usually travel through the metal structures of the car and dissapate into the ground.
