Even though the lightning and thunder occur at roughly the same time,
you would see a distant strike before you would hear it, because the light
travels to you about 882 thousand times as fast as the sound does.
You see lighting and hear thunder.

Yes. Thunder is the sound of lighting hitting the ground. Light travels much faster than sound so you see the lighting first and hear the thunder afterwards. If you see the lighting and hear the thunder right after, then you are closer to wear the lighting struck.
because lighting is made of plasma- the hottest state of matter. the intense heat makes the air around it pop, and that creates thunder.
I think that they will be allways together cause when it rains you see the lighting and then [almost inmediately] you can hearthe thunder I guess Or maybe cause she thinks she shines [yeah! really] and lighting does
yea u cna see it if its loud enough to shake your windows otherwise no u just hear thunder u see lighting
No, thunder doesn't always mean lightning. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air around a lightning bolt as it heats up creating a shock wave. So while thunder is commonly associated with lightning, it is possible to have thunder without seeing the accompanying lightning, especially if the lightning is far away or obstructed from view.
No, thunder reaches the observer after they see lightning.
You hear the sound, called thunder, after the flash because light travels many times faster than sound and therefore reaches you first.
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.
You see lightning before you hear it because light moves faster than sound. Thunder comes from the lightning. You can't hear it until the sound waves reach you.
There are several websites you can check out. I would first go to amazon.com to see if there was something I liked or just to get an idea of what kind of lighting I would want for my yard.
