The speed of lightning. While the flashes we see as a result of a lightning strike travel at the speed of light (670,000,000 mph) an actual lightning strike travels at a comparatively gentle 270,000 mph.
Does lightning go at the speed of light?
Lightning travels at the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second. When lightning strikes, a noise is made which we call thunder. Thunder travels much slower, at the speed of sound, about 1088 feet per second.
Light travels faster than lightning. Lightning is reall slow compared to light although you can’t tell the lightnings speed by looking at it. Light can travel around the world 7 times in one second. Lightning travels around the world in one hour.
Lightning has a slower speed than the speed of light, but lightning has a more destructive force than light. Kizaru is faster but Enel can travel at any direction he needs. Which is something light can’t do. Also Electricity helped Enels Mantra a lot. And I do believe Lightning has more destructive power than light.
What can travel faster than the speed of light?
No, there isn’t. As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass rises steeply – so much so that the object’s mass becomes infinite and so does the energy required to make it move . Since such a case remains impossible, no known object can travel as fast or faster than the speed of light.
How “fast” is the speed of light?
“We used fast light pulses to create a so-called quantum superposition The physicists thus proved a second speed limit, which was theoretically discovered about 20 years ago. The ultimate speed limit in the quantum world is therefore determined.
You might be asking “Why does sound travel faster than light?”
We discovered light travels faster than sound because sound waves can only travel as waves of pressure in a medium, whereas electromagnetic waves, of which light is made, move on their own even through vacuum. Light’s speed decreases a little when it goes through various mediums, as electromagnetic waves interact with the medium at a subatomic level. Sound’s speed depends on the medium through which it travels.
