Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. Also the speed of light travels much faster than the speed of sound, so people should see lightning before they hear thunder.
Yes No, lightening is seen before thunder is heard.
Thunder is always heard after lightning flashes. The sounds from thunder can be heard from miles away, but you can see lightning and NOT hear thunder. Never the other way around.
Thunder
When lightning appears in the remote distance and appears to produce no thunder sound, it is popularly known as "heat lightning." Meteorologists will tell you that there really is no such thing as a distinct type of lightning that is not followed by thunder. All lightning produces thunder, but it is only audible for a distance of some 15-20 miles from the storm. At night, lightning can be seen for distances of up to 125 miles if the conditions are right. So when lightning is seen but no thunder is heard, you are simply too far away from the storm.
They ALWAYS happen together. The lightning you see is an electrical discharge from ice crystals rubing together in clouds. This makes an almighty crack sound, and a bright light is observed. You hear the thunder after you see the lightning because sounds travels slower than light. But in fact, the sound and the light came to be at the same time. The further away you are from the strom the larger the delay between seeing the light and hearing the sound is.
Thunder is the sound heard after lightning.
The loud rumbling noise after a lightning flash is called thunder.
As the velocity of light is more than sound then you have a chance to be socked by this thunder, but if you heard the thundering sound then there is no chance to socked by that lighting because that thunder already dropped some where.
Yes No, lightening is seen before thunder is heard.
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.

Thunder
Thunder - is the result of a lightning flash. The flash causes the surrounding air to move away from the source at 300 metres/second. An approximate calculation for the relationship between the lightning flash to hearing the thunder, is 5 seconds per mile.
well, if your far away then no. you wouldn't be able to hear the thunder. if how ever, you are close to the thunder storm you will hear thunder.
No, I have never heard of thunder power.
