No, thunder is not a source of light; it is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning strike. Lightning, on the other hand, is the electrical discharge that creates a bright flash of light during a storm. While they often occur together during thunderstorms, they are distinct phenomena.

16 How does thunder form as a result of a lightning bolt?

Thunder is formed as a result of the rapid expansion of air heated by a lightning bolt. The intense heat from the lightning bolt causes the surrounding air to rapidly expand and create a shock wave, which we perceive as thunder. The sound of thunder travels slower than the speed of light, which is why we see the lightning before we hear the thunder.
