Lightning Mind Blowing Fact (#11)
⚡ Mind-Blowing Lightning Fact: Hotter Than the Sun!
Did you know that a single bolt of lightning can heat the surrounding air to an astonishing 30,000 Kelvin (53,540°F)?

So, the next time you see a flash of lightning and hear that rumble, remember:
You’re literally hearing air explode after being blasted by a force hotter than the sun. 🌩🔥☀️
