it faster than sound
Yes, A Lightning storm produces lightning, thunder comes with the light. Thunder comes after lightning because sound is slower than light.
A lightning storm is an excellent example of light travelling faster then sound because of the fact that unless it is directly above you the lightning always streaks first and then you hear the thunder.
The delay between the lightning and the sound of thunder is due to the difference in speed between light and sound. Light travels much faster than sound, so we see the lightning first before hearing the thunder. By counting the seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, you can estimate how far away the lightning struck.
The sudden flashes of light and trembling sound waves are involved in lightning and thunder. These waves are caused because of the Sudden electrical discharges resulting from atmospheric conditions.
Lightning in clouds without the sound of thunder is often caused by heat lightning. This type of lightning occurs when a storm is far away and the sound of thunder cannot travel as far as the light from the lightning.
Lightning does not come after thunder. Thunder is the sound produced from lightning. The amount of time in between when you see the lightning and when you hear the thunder makes you think that the thunder comes first but it is in fact the other way around.
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 causes thunder. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge that you see as a bolt or flash of light. Thunder is the sound caused when the lightning superheats the air, creating a shockwave.
You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
Thunder is the sound of lightning, because lightning moves faster then sound it takes a few seconds for the sound to catch up. So there is no sound of thunder, thunder is just the sound of lightning.
Sound, in normal air. First lightning then thunder!
Lightning travels at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound. When lightning strikes, the light reaches us almost instantaneously, while the sound takes longer to travel to our ears, resulting in a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder.
