How are thunder and lightning different and where do they come from?

What is the same as rain and thunder?
Rain is water, did you know that Rain isn't a neutral PH level of 7, it is actually a little acidic with a PH of 6?! Thunder is a sound wave made from lightning. You see the lightning 1st before you hear the thunder 2nd simply because that light is faster than sound.
How many miles away is the lightning when you count 40 sec from when you saw the lightning until when you hard the thunder?
What I do know is it takes 5 seconds for the sound waves to travel 1 mile.So, if it's 5 seconds per mile, take 40 seconds and divide by 5 and the answer is 8 miles. That means if you count 40 seconds and hear the thunder, the flash was 8 miles away.One more thing, every second, the sound travels .2 miles.

What can you hear during a solar eclipse?
Thunderstorms produce eratic and dangerous environments. During a thunderstorm, one may notice booming sounds throughout the sky. This is called thunder. Thunder is a sonic reaction to lightning. Lighting occurs when the potential difference between clouds or between clouds and the ground is too great. The sudden electrical discharge can reach extreme voltages, rapidly heating the surrounding air. This sudden heating of the air causing the sonic reaction, thunder.
What is the definition of 'thunder'?
According to Webster, thunder is classified as "the sound that follows a flash of lightning and is caused by sudden expansion of the air in the path of the electrical discharge." In simpler terms, thunder is the sound produced by the speed of a lightning bolt, similar to a sonic boom produced by a fighter jet. Did you know that thunder is heard after lightning because sound is slower than light? For more definitions try: http://webster.com/

What is a good onomatopoeia for thunder?
It depends on whether you're looking for one word, or a series of words you can string together. One of the interesting things about onomatopoeia is that if you do a good enough job with it, in a piece of writing, you'll never have to mention the word "thunder" even once, for people to know what you're talking about. "Rumble" is usually the single word I think of most often, associated with the sound of thunder. But there are lots of other words that bring to mind the sound of thunder. "Thunder" itself, for that matter, kind of sounds like thunder. Consider the following words: Percussion, doubled, redoubled, crashing, rolling, cascading, bomb, -- any word that has a "crashing" sound or an "explosive" sound could be evocative of thunder, in one's imagination. "Boom!" could be a one-word sound for thunder. If you are writing something, as a story or a poem, you can string a lot of "thundery" sounding words together, to get the idea across. The list above is not at all complete -- just an example of a few words that can bring the sound of thunder to mind.
