A thunder storm is one in which a large amount of thunder is heard. Thunder is caused by lightning; it would be more correct to say that a thunderstorm only occurs with lightning strikes.
No. Most thunderstorms produce rain. Thunder is a natural consequence of lightning.
Lightning does not strike backwards, from the ground to the sky. It only moves in one direction, from the sky to the ground.By striking backwards, do you mean can the Earth give off a lightning bolt to the clouds? No.
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
Lighting is most frequent in thuderstorms, so the largest percentage occur in tropical climates. There are nearly as many in the ocean as on land, and they are particularly numerous during tropical storms.
Yes thunder can be dangerous, but it depends how close you are to it. Thunder can damage your ears depending on how loud/close you are to it. Be careful to distinguish thunder from lightning, which are related but different. Lightening is the actual electrical discharge, and is dangerous because you can be electrocuted. Thunder is just the sound from to lightning, and so it could only hurt your ears if it is very loud (which is pretty unlikely). This is most likely to occur from a positive C-G strike since it contains up to 300 000 amperes which in return creates the loudest of thunder. Also thunder from these strikes have popped nails from wood and even crack windows.
They don't. No idea where you got this from, but this couldn't be farther from the truth, and something I have NEVER seen in all my years of helping raising cattle, AND seeing the many thunderstorms that roll through! It is true that cattle do die during thunderstorms, but only if they were hit by lightning, not just because some thunderstorm, big or small, rolled though.
No. Most thunderstorms produce rain. Thunder is a natural consequence of lightning.
Lightning not only can strike the same place twice, it frequently does.
No. Lightning has been detected on Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn.
A typical lightning strike lasts for about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds.

Nope - lightning can strike the same place multiple times if the object presents enough ionic attraction to ground the charge.
Lightning only occurs during thunderstorms. There is a slim chance of getting struck by lightning. Being struck by lightning will do 5 hp (Two and a half hearts). If lightning zaps a pig it turns into a zombie pigman, a villager to a witch, a horse to a skeleton trap horse, If a creeper is struck it turns the creeper into a supercharged and more dangerous creeper.
In Principe - yes, because surge amplitude is smaller then negative lightning strike surge and it is only one stroke by discharging.
Tornadoes can only form during thunderstorms.
mostly yes put mostly in severe thunderstorms
