Thunder and Lightning Explained!

Hey guys Mr. Mayo and today I'm going to talk to you about baked beans, there's no kenny loggins, there's no free samples at Costco, no,

thunder

and

lightning

, let's do this, what you're doing right, I knew we were going to need help with that

thunder

and

lightning

stuff plus we haven't had a new character in one of our videos in a while so I already did it andy I want you to meet our new partner Roberta hello well what does she do to be honest? I really don't know, ask him something. Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?

No, are there really beans inside the bean bags? What no, there is real poop in the shampoo? No, hey, shouldn't we learn about thunder and lightning? Oh yes, Roberta, I have a question. I know many children. who are afraid of thunder and lightning and I get it, it's a little strange, but if they're really afraid of thunder and lightning, it's totally normal to be afraid, but you're more likely to fall in the shower, get hurt on a toilet, or win an oscar than being struck by lightning in your life wow, i always thought that being struck by lightning happened all the time, while being struck by lightning does happen, it's not as common as people think, around 300 people are struck by lightning in the United States. every year, but that's out of the 320 million people who live there.

Wow, is there anywhere? I was going to say that it is the world where lightning occurs most frequently. Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela is known as the lightning capital of the world. There are more than 300 rays. storms a year in this small town wow all that lightning and stuff must be totally dangerous lightning generally causes more deaths each year than tornadoes and hurricanes. Was there anything I could do to stay safe in a storm? Don't ask me, ask him, oh. What is that smell? What does it smell like someone rolling in dog poop? Oh, it's you, buddy, do me a favor, go inside before I hit your ass with lightning.

I will, but first I have some lingering questions if you don't. I don't mind them asking if you're leaving if I say yes, then shoot, sausage, well, first of all, storms scare me. Is there anything I can do to stay safe in them? I'll tell you which zebrafish I'll give you. The best advice I have when you see lightning, count how long until you hear thunder. If it lasts less than 30 seconds, the storm is within 6 miles and should be considered dangerous, but if it lasts longer than 30 seconds, you have time to get there. safety here, let's try it, but that was only 10 seconds, so that must mean it's dangerous, well if I'm outside and there's a storm nearby, what should I do to stay safe if you get caught in a storm?

It can be a safe space if lightning strikes near the car, the electrical charge can travel through it and reach the ground without harming the people inside, as long as they don't touch the metal frame, but whatever you do , don't seek shelter under trees or other tall structures as they are more likely to be struck by lightning, that's good advice for when I'm outside, but what if I'm at home sitting on the couch? Is there anything I can do to stay safe? Well, buddy, if you're at home you should hide under your blanket and cry, don't call your mom and then cry cry and then cry cry you shouldn't think about unplugging appliances like computers and televisions this can prevent damage from electrical surges oh but yeah I turn off my TV I can't watch my favorite show different styles what are you talking about Willis is very funny because he is a cheeky little friend anyway I recommend that you turn him off hey friend, are you listening to the birds?

Sorry man I got caught up in this show, it went by so fast, hey talking. fast, I heard lightning is fast, but how fast is it? Well, lightning can travel at speeds of up to 220,000 miles per hour when traveling down from a cloud. Wow, that's pretty fast, hey Roberta, how fast is lightning compared to me? you know that a bullet a bird shot with a gun only travels at 1700 miles per hour if you multiply that speed by 129 lightning is even faster whoa are lightning bolts faster than airplanes the fastest airplane in the world can reach speeds of 4,500 miles per hour multiplying that speed by 49 would make it just a little faster than lightning.

Wow, lightning is fast, but storms like that cause a ton of damage. In reality, thunderstorms can cause up to $1 billion in damage each year. Take a look at some photos of the damage caused by thunder and lightning, all that destruction and damage, lightning must be huge, yes you think so, but a lightning bolt is actually only an inch or two wide, so which is small if you think about it, but they usually stretch to be about five miles long, what are you talking about, sorry man, but this show got me thinking, I know televisions, toasters, and a bunch of other things that start with a power outage, but how much electricity is there in a lightning bolt that each lightning bolt can reach. at around a billion volts to imagine how strong that is, imagine the double a batteries inside your remote control.

Now imagine if there were more than 625 million of them. Remind me not to be surprised, but now, the million dollar question, how are lightning formed? Well, a lot of how lightning forms starts with a cloud, if you haven't already click the link above to watch the cloud video you made to see that our cloud formed anyway, after it forms a cloud, the hot air continues to rise and the cloud. it gets bigger and bigger at the top of the clouds the temperature is below freezing and the water vapor turns into ice now the cloud turns into a thunder cloud inside the cloud many small pieces of ice They collide with each other as they move I am a A small piece of ice, yes, but I am better.

A small piece of ice proves it. When these smart bits collide, they can cause a small electrical charge and eventually the entire cloud fills with an electrical charge. Lighter, positively charged particles form at the top of the cloud. cloud I am totally sure that I am the positive one. The heavier negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cloud. I hate everything. I am negative. When the positive and negative charges become large enough, a giant spark, also known as lightning, is produced between the two. you charge inside the cloud, that's cool and all, but you're not kidding me, thunder, dude, what do you mean I've seen superhero movies before, bro, amazing Spider-Man 2, Thor, Thor 2?

If you hit me with lightning, I get superpowers. I don't know if it's a good idea, come on, put them on, I don't know, man, oh were you scared, Mr. Lightning? You'll look like some kind of tears, don't cry all the tails, hey buddy, how do you feel? I think I have superpowers here look at this look I'm like that very fast superhero kung fu panda yeah exactly hey thunder lips do me a favor give me another one of those lightning bolts man I want more superpowers hey dude I don't know if this is a good idea come on do it , oh, you have enough tears and the tears on your feet fall from your eyes and, my God, your eyes will slow down or you are afraid, you are afraid, your parents are afraid.

How do you feel now? I don't like having superpowers. Hey, Roberta, what's the number nine one one nine one one? Roberta, this is not the time to waste time. What is the number nine one? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Cassie
