The lightning comes before the thunder for two reasons:-
# The sound actually does come after the light, it is a secondary effect. The light is caused by the air heating up as a result of the electrical discharge. This heating causes the air to glow (the light bit) then to expand and after the discharge is finished to collapse again and the pressure wave of this happening causes the thunder (the sound bit). # The second reason is that light travels much much faster than sound so that from a distance you will see the lightning then a few seconds (the longer the time delay, the further away you are) later you hear the thunder.

Why is a thunder storm called a thunder storm instead of a lighting storm?
A thunderstorm is called so because it is characterized by the presence of thunder, which is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. While lightning is a prominent feature of thunderstorms, the term "thunderstorm" emphasizes both the thunder and lightning elements of the weather event.
What is the differience between A Thunderstorm and A Hailstorm?
A thunderstorm is a type of storm characterized by lightning and thunder as a result of unstable atmospheric conditions. A hailstorm, on the other hand, is a type of storm that produces hail, which are ice pellets that form within strong thunderstorm updrafts. In some cases, a thunderstorm can produce hail, but not all thunderstorms result in hail.
Can thunder storms occur without lightning?
most likely there is lighting from a further away storm and that's why the thunder occurs other wise i don't know
Why do lighting and thunder occur during a thunderstorm?
During a thunderstorm, lightning is caused by the buildup and discharge of static electricity in the atmosphere. Thunder occurs when the air surrounding the lightning bolt rapidly expands and contracts, creating a shock wave. The heat from the lightning bolt causes the air to expand and contract, resulting in the sound wave we hear as thunder.
