There are several myths about lightning and mobile phones that have been debunked by experts. Here are some common ones:
Mobile Phones Attract Lightning: This is a widespread myth. Mobile phones do not attract lightning. Lightning is attracted to tall objects and large metal structures, not small electronic devices like mobile phones.
Using a Mobile Phone During a Thunderstorm is Dangerous: Using a mobile phone during a thunderstorm is generally safe. However, it's important to avoid using wired landline phones, as they can carry electricity from a lightning strike. ☎️
Standing Under a Tree Provides Safety: This is a dangerous myth. Trees can actually attract lightning and increase the risk of being struck if you're standing nearby.🌳
Rubber Soles Protect Against Lightning: Rubber does not provide protection against lightning strikes. The best way to stay safe is to seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm👢
