A: Mt. Chimborazo, in Equador [sic], at 6,267 meters above sea level …. [I[t's farther away from Earth's center, at 6,384,404 meters

B: 499.00601 second or 8.3167668 minute using that speed of light is 186,282 miles per second. An astronomical Unit is 92,955,830 miles which you divide the astronomical unit by the speed of light with should give you the correct answer!

C: it takes about 10,000 volts to create a one inch spark. Lightning has millions of volts and easily can jump 10-20 feet!
