Benjamin Franklin famously flew a kite during a thunderstorm in 1752 as part of his experiments to understand electricity. He used this demonstration to show that lightning is a form of electricity. By flying the kite with a metal key attached, he was able to collect electrical charges from the storm, which contributed to the understanding of electricity's nature. This experiment is often celebrated as a pivotal moment in the history of science.
