not if you are standing far enough away and not at all the sound of the lightning is thunder but if you were standing directly underneath it the sound would come at the exact moment of the light
Sound (thunder) travels much much slower than light (lightning flash).

Yes No, lightening is seen before thunder is heard.
Thunder - is the result of a lightning flash. The flash causes the surrounding air to move away from the source at 300 metres/second. An approximate calculation for the relationship between the lightning flash to hearing the thunder, is 5 seconds per mile.
Light travels faster than sound. This causes the lightning flash to be seen first, with thunder taking longer to be heard.
The loud rumbling noise after a lightning flash is called thunder.
the lightning was 0.8 miles away.
It isn't ! A flash of lightening is seen BEFORE a peal of thunder is heard.
Thunder is always heard after lightning flashes. The sounds from thunder can be heard from miles away, but you can see lightning and NOT hear thunder. Never the other way around.
Thunder is the sound heard after lightning.
