How Does Lightning Turn Into Glass When It Strikes The Sand?
Well i believe that you have a slight misunderstanding here, lightning doesn’t turn into glass when it strikes sand, instead the heat produced by the lightning striking the ground is so intense that it melts the sand and turns it into glass. The same is with any object striking sand provided it should generate intense amount of heat to melt the sand and turn it into glass.
Lightning, can turn sand into glass by striking it and heating it to extreme temperatures. Then, with the disappearance of the heat source, the sand cools rapidly, forming glass. Lightning is created when static electricity is stored in the clouds. The charged particles, between the positively and negatively charged parts of the storm cloud, collide and freeze. The static electricity becomes very intense, the electric field creates a conductive path between the earth (positively charged) and the bottom of the cloud (negatively charged) and lightning is created and channelled down this conductive path. Lightning bolts are hotter than the surface of the sun and where they strike, dramatic things can occur. One such result is the production of glass, when sand is struck by lightning. When lightning strikes a sandy place, such as a beach, the sand particles become extremely hot in a very short span of time. As the heat descends down through the sand, it melts, then forms new bonds with one
