Sound travels faster in higher temperatures because in higher temperatures the molecules collide more often. Thus, as the temperature of the medium decrease, the speed of sound decreases. So in the summer.
You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
Thunder is heard after lightning because light travels faster than sound. When lightning occurs, it heats the surrounding air quickly, causing it to expand rapidly. This rapid expansion creates shock waves that we hear as thunder, but it takes longer for sound to travel through the air to reach our ears compared to light.
Lightning without thunder during a storm is typically caused by a phenomenon known as heat lightning. Heat lightning occurs when lightning strikes far away and the sound of thunder does not travel as far as the light from the strike. This can happen when the storm is too far away for the sound waves to reach your location, resulting in the appearance of lightning without the accompanying thunder.
Lightning (an electrical discharge) always travels faster than the speed of sound. Lightning moves at thousands of miles per second through the air. The energy heats the air, to many thousands of degrees in temperature, and the rapid expansion of the air creates sound waves, called thunder. These sound waves travel through the air at about 1/5 of a mile per second, so that at any distance away from a lightning strike, the flash is seen before the thunder is heard.
Under normal circumstances, no. The speed of light in a vacuum is roughly 300,000,000 meters/second, while the speed of sound through air is 340 meters/second. However light does not travel 3x109 m/s inside a medium, and recent experiments have shown there are ways to slow light down to a crawl. In such a medium, usually a crystal structure, sound could indeed travel faster than light.
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
sound travels faster during the WINTER I learned this in science this is because during the winter sound particles are closer together making the sound travling faster during the summer the particles r more loose hopes this helps
Sound typically travels faster in warm air, such as during summer, due to warmer temperatures causing air molecules to move more quickly. In colder air, such as during winter, sound travels slower as the molecules are slower.
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
Summer because the air particles are more spread out and can move faster in more heat
It was faster.
Light waves travel faster than sound waves!
At least 16 miles.

you may not want to go during summer:)
