What happens when lightning strikes an airplane? How airplanes are protected from lightning?

Have you ever thought about what would happen if an airplane is passing through the clouds and suddenly lightning strikes it? Lightning is considered one of the energetic forces of nature, which is 6 times hotter than the surface of the sun, and when it occurs, it produces an ear-tearing sound in the sky. And where this lightning occurs, the air around it heats up in the clouds, causes it to rapidly expand and vibrate, and sounds like a sudden explosion. So what will happen after the lightning strikes on the aircraft, will it become completely black, or will it be shattered into pieces or deteriorate. 

The reality is that when lightning starts flashing around the plane, it does not cause any disturbance to the plane, and nothing bad happens, but now the question is, how does it all happen? So the first thing is that the security rules do not allow the pilot to take the plane from the area where the lightning is taking place. Even if the weather gets bad while flying, the plane diverts its route, sometimes the plane has to turn for several kilometers so that it does not have to go through the place of storm and lightning. But now the question arises if nothing would happen to the plane then why it is forced to divert its route.

It is diverted because it is a good practice to be in a safe place, without any reason why there should be a need to take it to a risky place. And the other problem is turbulence, in a strong storm there, the plane moves or vibrates a lot which is not a good thing, the bags or other belongings start falling down from inside the cabin. So as not to let this happen, the area is to be avoided no matter how far the plane has to go. 

The body of the plane is made of aluminum but it also has a layer of copper foil which protects the plane from lightning. There are also copper meshes in the interior system and cables of the plane, which saves the plane from lightning strikes. The surface temperature of the Sun is 5,505 ° C and the temperature of lightning is 29,726 degrees Celsius, that is, so many times the sun's temperature. And even when it hits the plane, nothing happens to the plane, showing how advanced technology has become in our world, which is truly amazing.
