Best Answer

Thunder is the sound produced by lightning. Lighting is an enormous discharge of static electricity, which superheats the air along a narrow channel. The air expands rapidly, producing a shockwave we hear as thunder.

A: As particles in the air collide it causes friction or static electricity like on a car seat . carpet ,comb and so on. This potential will built up like a big capacitor at some point it will discharge to anything that is closer to or have the correct polarity in that instant millions of ampere will flow discharging the stored potential, Thunder is nothing more then sound created by this effect
