Do old-fashioned pot lids used to conduct thunder and lightning

Old-fashioned pot lids do not cause thunder and lightning. Lightning is a natural phenomenon caused by the uneven distribution of electrical charges in the atmosphere, and has nothing to do with the material or shape of the pot lids themselves. Pot lids are usually made of metal, which is a good conductor of electricity, so it doesn't build up a charge or create static electricity.

To avoid lightning strikes and lightning hazards, we should take some other protective measures, such as staying away from places that are easy targets for lightning strikes during thunderstorms, such as high places, trees, metal structures and waters. In addition, proper building design and installation of lightning protection facilities can provide additional protection.

It is important to note that while pot lids themselves do not cause lightning, if you are in possession of metal items such as metal umbrellas and iron tools during thunderstorms, they may become conductors that attract lightning and increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Therefore, we should try to avoid using metal products during thunderstorms and take appropriate precautions to ensure personal safety.
