Why is lightning good?
Lightning is good because it helps to balance the Earth's electrical charge, maintains the nitrogen cycle by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that is usable by plants, and aids in preventing wildfires by causing controlled burns that clear out dead vegetation.
Is it really true that the lightning strikes first before the thunder or the lightning and thunder strikes together but only the lightning seems to be first because of it's speed of light?
Lightning does indeed strike first, as thunder is the sound created by lightning. According to Wikipedia, lightning heats the air surrounding it by large quantities, which in turn causes the air to expand and create a "Sonic wave" which is similar to a sonic boom.
How many joules are in a lightning bolt, and what is the significance of this energy measurement in understanding the power of a lightning strike?
A typical lightning bolt carries about 1 billion joules of energy. This measurement is significant because it helps us understand the immense power of a lightning strike. The high amount of energy released in a short time can cause significant damage to structures and pose a serious threat to living beings in the vicinity.

Is a lightning strike hotter than the surface of the sun?
Lightning strike Hotter than the Sun?The temperature of the air around a bolt of lightning is about 54,000°F (30,000°C), which is six times hotter than the surface of the sun, yet many times people survive being struck by a bolt of lightning. One man, US park ranger Roy Sullivan, was hit by lightning seven times between 1942 and 1977.The reason that heat is not always the major injury factor is that the air in the path of the bolt is ionized and expands rapidly, so that the thin gas does not contain as much heat energy as the temperature suggests. It is capable of causing localized second and third-degree burns, and burning off some lightweight clothing.In cloud-to-ground lightning, its energy seeks the shortest route to Earth, which could be through a person's shoulder, down the side of the body, through the leg, and to the ground. As long as the lightning does not pass across the heart or spinal column, the victim may not die.sun's temperature is enormous in the center compared with its surface.... lightening has temperature which lies in between the surface and center temperature of sun.......
