that's impossible lightning can strike anywhere so no matter where you are lightning can possibly strike you even though lightning strikes to a human rarely happens but there sometimes reports of lightning strikes on lower ground but that doesnt mean you ignore that safety precaution cause that rarely happens

If you're outside, you do what you can, move away from high trees, flag poles and such - then you hope for the best.

What is the difference between heat lightning and regular lightning?
Nothing. Heat lightning is just lightning too far away to be heard.
How is thunder produced and how far away does the lightning strikes if the thunder is heard 15 seconds after the lightning is seen?
Thunder - is the result of a lightning flash. The flash causes the surrounding air to move away from the source at 300 metres/second. An approximate calculation for the relationship between the lightning flash to hearing the thunder, is 5 seconds per mile.
If you are swimming in an ocean and lightning strikes the ocean would survive?
Yes. unless the lighting is in a close range of you it will not hit you. This happens because when lightning strikes because lighting doesn't travel far
How hot is thunder?
It depends on where the lightening strikes. If it's very far away from you, it should be very quite. If it's right in front of your house, it should be VERY loud. It's because thunder is sound and it takes time to travel to your ear and the volume decreases the further you are from it.
How far away is the thunderstorm if there is 20 seconds between each lightning strike?
This doesn't really make sense because there is no specific time span between lightning strikes. The only thing I can say is that if the lightning is brighter, than it is no more than three miles way from where you are currently. And I'm not talking about altitude either.
How far away is lighting when it strikes?
Not far enough if you get hit

This is a delay of 5 seconds between the time you see a flash of lightning and hear thunder if the temperature is 20 celsius how far away is the lightning strike?
So, the sound travels at about 340 meters per second. The answer is 340 meters X 5 seconds equals 1700 meters away is the lightning strikes.

What is lightning without thunder?
Lightning without thunder is called heat lightning. It occurs when the lightning is too far away for humans to hear the thunder.
If you see lightning and didn't here thunder what dose that mean?
You saw heat lightning then. Heat lightning is to far away to hear
