The Hidden Strength Lightning

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله رب العالمين , وصلاة والسلام على أشرف المرسلين . أما بعد :
A flash of lightning generates electricity generated is greater than America .

At night , in heavy rain , the sky suddenly lit up , shortly followed by a thunderous sound . Do you know how incredible lightning that lit up the sky appear ? Do you know how much light it emits ? Or how much heat it releases ?

A flash of lightning is a bright light that formed during electrical discharge in the atmosphere as rain badai.Petir can occur when the voltage at two separate points in the atmosphere - is still in the clouds , or between clouds and the ground surface , or between two ground level - reaching levels high .

Lightning occurs in the form of at least two strokes . At the first stroke a negative charge ( - ) flows from the cloud to the ground . This is not a very bright flash . Number of branching lightning usually be seen spreading out from the main lightning path . When the strike first strike the ground , an opposite charge to be formed at the point and flow snatched two positively charged lightning is formed from within the main flash point directly towards the clouds . Two lightning is usually competed about 50 meters above ground level . Short circuit is formed at the meeting point between the cloud and the ground surface , and the result is a very strong electric current flows and the light of the main flash point it towards the clouds . Voltage difference in power between the cloud and the ground surface exceeds several million volts .

The energy released by a lightning strike is greater than that produced by all the power plants in America . The temperature on the track where lightning is formed can reach 10,000 degrees Celsius . The temperature inside the furnace for melting iron is between 1,050 and 1,100 degrees Celsius . The heat generated by lightning strikes the smallest can reach 10 times that. This tremendous heat means that lightning can easily burn and destroy all the elements that exist on earth . Other comparisons , the high temperature of the sun's surface 700,000 degrees Celsius . In other words , the temperature of lightning is 1/70 of the sun's surface temperature . Issued by lightning light brighter than the light 10 million light bulbs 100 watt power . For comparison , a flash of lightning illuminates sekelilinginya more clearly than when one incandescent bulb lit in every house in Istanbul . God directs attention to the extraordinary luster of lightning is in the Qur'an :

يكاد سنا برقه يذهب بالأبصار

" ... Luminous cloud lightning that almost eliminates the vision . " ( Surat an- Nuur , 24:43 )

Flashes very quickly formed down to earth with a speed of 96,000 km / h . The first strike hit a meeting or the earth's surface within 20 milliseconds , and a bolt in the opposite direction to get to the cloud within 70 microseconds . Overall the lightning lasted until the second half . The sound of thunder that followed caused by sudden heating of the air around the lightning path . As a result , the air expands at speeds exceeding the speed of sound , though the waves kejutnya return to normal sound waves in the range of a few meters . Sound waves are formed following atmospheric air and surface shape afterwards . That is the reason for the occurrence of thunder danpetir one after another .

When we contemplate all about this Lightning , we can understand that the events of this nature is something amazing . How does an incredible power it came from the positively and negatively charged particles , which are invisible to the naked eye , showed that lightning was created deliberately . Furthermore , the fact that the molecules of nitrogen , which is essential for plants , emerge from these forces , once again proving that lightning is created with a special wisdom .

God specifically draws attention to the lightning in the Qur'an . Meaning of Surat ar -Ra'd , one letter of the Qur'an , the real is " Thunder" . In the verses of Allah says that He is lightning lightning present in humans as a source of fear and hope . God also said that thunder occurs when lightning struck praise hymn . God has created a sign for us to lightning . We must think and be thankful that thunder , who may have never thought of this as thoroughly as a lot of people and that lead to feelings of fear and hope in man , is a means by which the fear of God grew and were sent by him for the particular purpose as He wills .
