Is the lightning rod on the building acting as a protection against lightning?

Answer:

Therefore "lightning" is not to let the whole house lightning, but away from mine, let the building in, lightning.The principle of lightning rod is "point discharge", which is of interest
This prevents construction of personnel or electrical equipment from being struck by lightning
The lightning rod does not keep the lightning away from the buildingInstead, the lightning is directed to the lightning rod, and then the lightning is passed through the wire (or the steel bar in the structure) to the ground
