When You See a Lightning Flash, Start counting until You hear the boom. For example lets say the lightning striked 10 seconds ago and then there was a boom. divide the number by five. 10 divide by 5=2. So it's 2 Miles away. and 5,280x2=10,560. It's Also 10,560 Feet away. Remember (number of seconds the boom happend)divide 5. 5,280=1 mile.

Why lightning don't strike at summer?
Summer is the time when lightning strikes most often.
What time does lightning strike the clock tower?
Lightning does not strike a clock tower at a specific time. Lightning strikes are unpredictable and can occur at any time during a thunderstorm. Lightning tends to strike tall structures, like clock towers, because they offer a direct path for the electrical discharge to reach the ground.
If you hear thunder 5 s after seeing a flash of lightning the distance to the lightning strike is about?
Roughly 1 mile away. Sound travels at about 1 mile every 5 seconds, so the time difference between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder can give you an estimate of the distance to the lightning strike.
Can lightning strike while there's a rainbow?
Yes, lightning can strike while a rainbow is present. Rainbows occur during or after a rain shower, which can also be associated with thunderstorms that produce lightning. Seeing both a rainbow and lightning at the same time is rare but possible.
Does lighting hit something everytime it strikes?
Lightning does not hit something every time it strikes. There are various forms of lightning. Lightning that is classified as "cloud to ground" lightning will strike something in it's path. Another form of lightning is sheet lightning. This type of lighting illuminates the sky and spreads from cloud to cloud.

Why Does lightning strike 100 times per minute?
A better estimate is 100 strikes per second. At any given time there are about 2,000 thunderstorms occurring worldwide. In most of them lightning will strike every few minutes to every few seconds. if wee divide 100 strikes per minute by 2,000 storms we get an average of 3 strikes per minute (a strike every 20 seconds) per storm, which is a pretty reasonable frequency.
How much time does lightning strike in a minute on the earth?
On average, there are about 44 flashes of lightning per second and 2,400 times per minute on Earth. This equates to approximately 1.4 billion lightning strikes worldwide every year.
Is it possible for lightning to strike daily and at the same time?
It is possible for lightning to strike daily, if you have a storm system strong enough. For the second part of your question, the a single lightning strike that you see is actually made from multiple strikes that occur relatively at the same moment, and therefore make the "branches" to the single lightning strike. If, instead, you're asking if it's possible for two lightning strikes to happen almost exactly 24 hours apart... yes, definitely. However, it would probably just be coincidence; there isn't anything "magical" going on here, other than that there was either one long-lasting or two separate storm systems passing through on consecutive days.
Does thunder flash 5 mins after lightning?
No, thunder actually happens simultaneously with lightning. The sound of thunder is created by the rapid expansion and contraction of the air surrounding a lightning bolt. The time it takes for you to hear thunder after seeing lightning depends on how far away the lightning strike is. Every 5 seconds between seeing a lightning flash and hearing the thunder equals approximately 1 mile of distance.
