Does it have to be raining for thunder to happen?

Assuming you mean does there have to be rain where you are for you to hear thunder, the answer is no. Thunder can be heard from quite a distance so the thunder may be happening a distance away where it's raining, and it not be raining where you are.There's also a phenomenon called dry thunder where there is rain from the clouds but it evaporates before it reaches the ground. This is more likely to happen in deserts and other arid places.


Why do you see thunder after you see the flash of lightning?

You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
