The return stroke (the current that cause the visible flash) moves upward at a speed of about 320,000,000 ft per second or about 220,000,000 miles per hour (about 1/3 the speed of light).

How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +145 v to a point where it is -55 v
Aleks04 [339]
The work done by the electric field in moving a charge is the negative of the potential energy difference between the two locations, which is the product between the magnitude of the charge q and the potential difference \Delta V:
W=-\Delta U=-q\Delta V=-q (V_f -V_i)
The proton charge is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, and the two locations have potential of V_i = +145 V and V_f=-55 V, therefore the work is
W=-(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(-55 V-(+145 V))=3.2 \cdot 10^{-17}J

It is winter in Puerto Rico. Compare the air temperatures beachgoers feel near the water
Leviafan [203]
Large amounts of water do have a big impact on the weather: indeed, it takes less energy to warm/cool land than water.
Therefore, places near large amounts of water tend to have smaller differences in temperature between summer and winter than places far from waters.

Hence, during winter in Puerto Rico, alongside the coast, the temperature will be higher than in the innermost parts of the island.
