Can you have thunder without lighting and vice-versa?

No, thunder only occurs when lightning strikes. Lightning produces a rapid expansion of heated air, causing the sound waves that we recognize as thunder. So, thunder always accompanies lightning, and you cannot have one without the other.


Does thunder always mean lightning?

No, thunder doesn't always mean lightning. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air around a lightning bolt as it heats up creating a shock wave. So while thunder is commonly associated with lightning, it is possible to have thunder without seeing the accompanying lightning, especially if the lightning is far away or obstructed from view.

What is lightning without thunder?

Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity, often seen during a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. So, without thunder, lightning would still be the sudden and bright flash of electricity in the sky.


What causes the phenomenon of lightning in clouds without the accompanying sound of thunder?

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.
