The odds of getting struck by lightning in any given year are about 1 in 300,000. And although roughly 90% of those struck survive, the electrical discharge scars some of them with a tattoo-like mark, known as the Lichtenberg figure. But that’s not all. A lightning bolt can heat the surrounding air to 27,760 degrees Celsius – which is five times hotter than the sun – and can contain up to 1 billion volts of electricity.
