The green house effect. The waves of smaller wavelength from the sun enter inside the car through the glass windows and are absorbed. The waves of larger wavelength emitted from inside cannot get out through the glass, but remain inside and make it terribly hot.
The Whole car - the body and inside - can be considered to be a hallow conductor. During the thunderstorm the body - i.e, the outside- gets a charge but there will be no charge inside. so the inside is safe.
Lightning is extremely hot ? a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five times hotter than the sun?s surface. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash.
Lightning heats the surrounding air to about 30,000 degrees Centigrades.
