A bit nearer to earth. Lightning Makes a Safe Zone in the Earth's Radiation Belts Oct. 31. 2017 Radio waves generated by terrestrial lighting get propagated by electrons along the Earth's magnetic field lines and sweep high-energy electrons away from their path. This opens a 'Safe Zone' in the radiation belts. Without lightning's cleansing effect producing this protective safe zone in Earth's radiation belts, it would be dangerous for satellites.
