What is the sound following a flash of lightning?
This is called thunder, and results from a rapidly expanding pressure wave, as a narrow column of air is heated to thousands of degrees by the lightning's electrical energy.
What is The loud crashing or rumbling noise heard after a flash of lightning?
Thunder is the loud crashing or rumbling noise heard after a flash of lightning. This happens because lightning heats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we hear as thunder.
What is the flash in lightning?
Lightning is a high current discharge where electrons are passed through the air to neutralize a charge imbalance between Earth's surface and clouds above. The electrons superheat and ionize the air, which makes more electrons available to carry current. The flash occurs when those electrons start dropping back into their ground state orbitals, as the ionized plasma disspiates energy as light, and cools to a gas. when particles in clouds rub together it generates electricity.this is atracted to the ground and leaps between the two. the answer is lightning.
Is lightning solid?
No. A bolt of lightning is made of plasma, which is ionized gas.
What is a flash of lightning and the thunder that follows?
A flash of lightning is the visible discharge of electricity that occurs between clouds or between a cloud and the ground during a storm. Thunder is the sound created by the rapid expansion and contraction of air caused by the intense heat of a lightning bolt. The noise from thunder occurs because of the rapid increase in pressure and temperature of the air surrounding the lightning bolt.
Does thunder have a flash?
Thunder is the sound produced by lightning as it rapidly heats and expands the air. It is not a flash like lightning, but rather the result of the shock wave created by the sudden expansion of the air.

How does a flash of lighting affect the air around it?
a. it gives the air a positive charge b.its gives the air a negative charge c.it cools the air d.it warms the air
The clap of a thunder was heard 4 seconds after the flash of lightning was seen If the air temperature was 28 degree celsius how far was the lightning?
the lightning was 0.8 miles away.
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.
Is lightning solid?
No. A bolt of lightning is made of plasma, which is ionized gas.
How does lightning affect the air pressure around it?
Lightning rapidly heats the air around it to extremely high temperatures, causing the air to expand and create a shock wave. This rapid expansion and compression of the air molecules results in a temporary drop in air pressure, followed by a rapid increase after the lightning strike.
Does thunder cause lightning or does lightning cause thunder. Explain?
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.
How can heat be produced by bolt lighting?
a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five times hotter than the sun's surface. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash
