It is all due to the static current. In a cloud the negative charges are in bottom while the positive charges are in the top. It is same for all the clouds. Now there are clouds in the top as well bottom of the sky. Due to the atrraction between the negative and the positive charges both the clouds move towards each other with a very high speed. WHen they collide due to the very high speed, the small fraction of air present between gets heated and due to this heating it begins to glow. *The heat causes the electrons in the air molecules/atoms to become excited. They quickly release the energy by emitting light.
If you hear the thunder almost at the same time as the lightning flash - the storm is directly overhead. Usually - the sound of thunder arrives a few seconds after the lightning, because light travels much faster than sound.
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.
Lightning and thunder are phenomena that happen simultaneously but are observed at different times due to the difference in speed of light and sound. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning flash first and then hear the thunder that follows it later.
Static electricity is first created in the clouds then with enough charge the electricity grounds itself to the earth and what you see is the flow of static electricity shifting from the clouds to the ground
This delay of 5 seconds corresponds to approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) of distance from the lightning. Thunder travels about 1 mile in 5 seconds through air.
Lightning causes thunder. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge that you see as a bolt or flash of light. Thunder is the sound caused when the lightning superheats the air, creating a shockwave.
A lightning flash travels at the speed of light. The sound of thunder travels much slower. Therefore, we see the flash before we hear the thunder.
Lightning Flash was created in 1983-06.
Sky lightning is more commonly known as a lightning bolt or simply lightning.
the longest lightning flash ever recorded is 150 kilometres
in thunderstorms or lightning
lightting sword flash
If you hear the thunder almost at the same time as the lightning flash - the storm is directly overhead. Usually - the sound of thunder arrives a few seconds after the lightning, because light travels much faster than sound.
It is not dangerous because sound travels at a slower speed than light. When you see the flash of lightning, the storm is typically far enough away that the lightning poses no immediate threat. If thunder is heard long after the flash, it indicates that the storm is moving away from your location.
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.
The guy who is fast as lightning is usually referred to as "The Flash".
