Lightening can strike a jet, thunder does not 'strike' anything.

Does thunder hit houses?
Lightning can strike houses during a thunderstorm, but thunder itself is simply the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. It is not the lightning strike itself, so thunder does not directly hit houses.
What are the similarities of thunder and lightning?
No, the two are quite different. The main difference is lightning is light, thunder is sound. Lightning is an electric charge that can come from a cloud for various reasons. Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, lightning comes first, thunder second.
Does lightning make any noise?
No. The visual portion of the energy wave that we see as lightning it's self does not make noise, however this energy wave also displaces air. The air that is displaced by the negative and positive ion charge (that bolt we see) is often heard as a loud "crack" and the air that moves fast enough creates a sonic boom which we hear as thunder.
Explain what causes lightning and thunder?
Lightning is caused by the buildup of electric charges in a storm cloud. When the charge difference becomes strong enough, it discharges as a lightning bolt. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and heating of air surrounding the lightning bolt.
If a lighting strike hits a tornado what happens?
If lightning strikes a tornado, it can increase the intensity of the tornado but doesn't fundamentally change its behavior. Instead, the tornado may briefly light up and become more visible. Lightning hitting a tornado is a rare occurrence due to the unpredictability of both weather phenomena.
Can rabbits die from lightining?

Does thunder hit houses?
Lightning can strike houses during a thunderstorm, but thunder itself is simply the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. It is not the lightning strike itself, so thunder does not directly hit houses.
Can Lightning and thunder occur simultaneously?
No. Thunder is the result of lightning when it hits the ground. After lightning hits the ground the air expands (because of the increase in temp.) and quickly condenses. That air condensing is what we hear when there is thunder. Because light travels faster than sound we see lightning then hear thunder.

Does lighting hits the sea water?

What happens when a ray of light hits a plane mirror?
It has the time of its life.
Does Jimmy Eat World have hits besides The Middle and Big Casino?
Yes, one of their biggest hits is Hear You Me.
How many deaths occur in plane accidents?
It depends on how many people are in the plane. Most people die in plane crashes (if in plane)because of the impact of it when the plane hits the ground. People who don't die will be badly injured and very blessed they didn't die.
What is a simple way to estimate how far away lightning?
First, watch for lightning. The second it hits the ground, starts counting in seconds. Stop when you hear thunder. divide the seconds by 5 to get how many miles away the lightning is. For kilometers, divide the seconds by 3.
Why aren't passengers usually injured when lightning hits a plane?
The lightning has no path to ground.
