Lightning (an electrical discharge) always travels faster than the speed of sound. Lightning moves at thousands of miles per second through the air. The energy heats the air, to many thousands of degrees in temperature, and the rapid expansion of the air creates sound waves, called thunder. These sound waves travel through the air at about 1/5 of a mile per second, so that at any distance away from a lightning strike, the flash is seen before the thunder is heard.
What manner of speed are you talking about? Yeesh, quantify your questions for crying out loud.
Light is faster than lightning. It takes some time to establish that ionized path and all that.
Yes. Nothing can travel faster than light.
Thunder (caused by lightning) is a sound. It travels from the lightning to you
at the speed of sound.
Very much so
Light is faster than lightning.
No, it is almost a millionth as fast.
yes
Lightning is much faster than meteors, which is the proper name for shooting stars.
I think
The lightning. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. In addition, lightning creates thunder, therefore it happens first, therefore must be faster. See the related link for more information.
Because light travels much faster than sound.
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.
lightning travels faster. Light is faster than sound.
Lightning is much faster than meteors, which is the proper name for shooting stars.
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
I think
no francesco is just a little bit faster
Light speed is much faster than the speed of sound, ergo the light you see in lightning is visible, before you here the sound.
The lightning. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. In addition, lightning creates thunder, therefore it happens first, therefore must be faster. See the related link for more information.
thunder and lightning do not come together as lightning is way much faster than thunder.
No. Nothing is faster than the speed of light. Even the fastest wind doesn't come close.
Light
there around the same speed
Depends on the mustang. Lightning is 380 horsepower but weighs in at 4500 pounds.
