The speed of lightning is somewhere between that of light and sound which is why most scientists would agree that the speed of light and the speed of sound make a good comparison to that of lightning and electricity.
Yes, A Lightning storm produces lightning, thunder comes with the light. Thunder comes after lightning because sound is slower than light.
Lightning is caused by a build-up of static electricity between raindrops. Eventually, enough builds-up, and it is discharged towards earth. Thunder is the noise caused by such a huge force, it is heard after the lightning is seen because light travels faster than sound.
Thunder is not matter. It does not have mass and does not occupy space.Thunder is sound made up of vibrations caused by lightning, and lightning is a huge discharge of electricity.Thunder is not matter.

light because when a lightning struck u can see hear the sound after the light
Thunder is sound- it travels at the speed of sound- about 1100 feet per second. Lightning is light- it travels at the speed of light- about 186,000 miles a second. The light is faster, gets there first.
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
No. Thunder is the sound produced by lightning. Lightning is a form of electricity.
Lightning. Because it is the speed of light.
Light speed is much faster than the speed of sound, ergo the light you see in lightning is visible, before you here the sound.

Lightning, aka electricity made from the clouds from a storm. The lightning would strike first because light is quicker than sound. After you see the flash of electricity then the sound it makes as it brakes sound is the thunder.
No, the two are quite different. The main difference is lightning is light, thunder is sound. Lightning is an electric charge that can come from a cloud for various reasons. Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, lightning comes first, thunder second.
The sudden flashes of light and trembling sound waves are involved in lightning and thunder. These waves are caused because of the Sudden electrical discharges resulting from atmospheric conditions.
Electricity.
it faster than sound
Yes, A Lightning storm produces lightning, thunder comes with the light. Thunder comes after lightning because sound is slower than light.
because sound travels slower than light, the you are to the lightning the sooner you hear the thunder..
