Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lighting and the sound of thunder seemed to occur together?

The closer together the flash and thunder occur, the nearer the storm is to you.


Does thunder have a flash?

Thunder is the sound produced by lightning as it rapidly heats and expands the air. It is not a flash like lightning, but rather the result of the shock wave created by the sudden expansion of the air.


What is the sound following the flash of lighting?

The sound following the flash of lightning is thunder. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding the lightning bolt, creating a sonic shockwave that we hear as a loud rumbling noise.


How fast the thunder come after lighting per second?

The thunder always comes after the flash. Depending on how far away the lightning hit, the thunder will reach you after different times. The sound travels at roughly 340,20 m/s, so an easy-to-remember rule is that if there's a flash and you count to three seconds, it is roughly 1 km away.


What is said Loud noise heard after lighting?

The loud rumbling noise after a lightning flash is called thunder.


Why do you hear lighting long after you see the flash?

You hear the sound, called thunder, after the flash because light travels many times faster than sound and therefore reaches you first.


Is thunder visible?

Thunder itself is not visible. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of heated air surrounding a lightning bolt. Lightning, on the other hand, is visible and is the actual electrical discharge that produces the light we see during a storm.


What is the purpose of lighting for a photo?

Why is not dangerous if you hear thunder long after you see the flash of lightning?

It is not dangerous because sound travels at a slower speed than light. When you see the flash of lightning, the storm is typically far enough away that the lightning poses no immediate threat. If thunder is heard long after the flash, it indicates that the storm is moving away from your location.

Why is lighting before thunder?

The reason is because the speed of sound is slower than the speed of light. Thats why when lightning looks like a pure lightning strike that is not far away from your shelter, the thunder happens almost at the same time. If lightning was just a flash in the sky, the thunder takes longer to come up.
