Lightning

A bolt of lightning can be pretty. It can be scary. It can cause fires. It can also help plants to grow.

Lightning is a big charge of electricity. It shoots down from storm clouds. There are thousands of lightning strikes every day.

These strikes are strong enough to hurt people and destroy things. Lightning can set grass and houses on fire, too.

Plants need nitrogen to grow. Lightning puts nitrogen into the dirt. This helps to keep plants healthy.

In a storm, it is best to stay inside and away from windows and water. Lightning can also strike through the phone. So stay off the phone and stay safely indoors.

闪电

闪电可能很漂亮，也可能很可怕。它会引起火灾。它还能帮助植物生长。

闪电是一大电荷。它从暴风云中射下来。每天有成千上万的雷击。

这些电击足以伤人和破坏东西。闪电也能使草地和房屋着火。

植物生长需要氮。闪电把氮气注入泥土。这有助于保持植物健康。

暴风雨时，最好呆在室内，远离窗户和水。闪电也能穿透手机。所以不要打电话，安全地待在室内。
