When a bolt of lightning discharges, it heats the air around it to a temperature of several thousand degrees. This causes the air to suddenly expand, creating a partial vacuum around the bolt's path. When the air rushes back into the vacuum, it creates a loud clap. The sound echoing off the clouds and ground is what we call thunder. That is why you only hear a bang when lightning strikes nearby. All of the sound is traveling away from you. When it is at a distance, you hear the rolling echoes.
Thunder is created by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt as it heats up to around 27,000 degrees Celsius. This sudden expansion creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder.

There are different things that make thunder and lightning. Thunder is made when air expands rapidly which causes the noise. Lightning on the other hand is created by an electric discharge.
Without Lightining, There'll be no Electricity or Energy. You can't really have thunder without lightning! Lightning is a flash of natural electricity. Thunder is the noise created by this phenomenon, so if there is no lightning, there is no thunder. I hope this answers your question! --A WikiAnswers user
