No. A even a small thunderstorm is larger than very large tornado. This is partly due to the fact that tornadoes form within thunderstorms.
A tornado descends from the base of a thunderstorm.
a tornado is formed by a thunderstorm
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
Yes, a severe thunderstorm can create the conditions necessary for a tornado to form. Thunderstorms with strong updrafts and rotation can produce tornadoes when other factors align, such as atmospheric instability and wind shear.
A tornado
Hurricanes themselves are much larger than any thunderstorm or tornado.
The air inside a tornadic thunderstorm (a storm that produces a tornado) does spin. But it is that spinning air that causes the tornado, rather than the tornado starting the air spinning.
A tornado/thunderstorm watch means that weather conditions are good for tornado/thunderstorm. A tornado/thunderstorm warning, however, means that conditions are extreme and a thunderstorm or tornado is likely. Conditions for either storm are very good at this stage.

A cyclone is bigger than a tornado by far, but a tornado is usually more violent.
No. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
Yes, tornadoes can be caused by thunderstorms. Specifically, tornadoes can form within supercell thunderstorms, which are intense rotating thunderstorms that have the potential to produce tornadoes due to the combination of wind shear and instability in the atmosphere.
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
well the thunderstorm builds to a super cell which is a sever thunderstorm then all it needs is a rotation
A rotating thunderstorm is also known as a supercell.
