Lightning occurs from thunderclouds, so the air needs to be warm and moist to produce the thundercloud, which will get a ting of electricity that will cause the strike to reach the ground, only lasting for a fraction of a second. Lightning tends to hit hits the high things. That's why you are always hearing about like the Statue of Liberty got struck by lightning, or the Empire State Building.

Why do thunder and lightning bolt occur at the same instant?
Thunder and lightning occur simultaneously because they are both produced by the same atmospheric phenomenon: a lightning strike. When lightning flashes, it superheats the air around it causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we hear as thunder, which is why we perceive the two events as happening at the same time.
Is there lightning and thunder during typhoon?
Yes, lightning and thunder can occur during typhoons. Typhoons are intense tropical storms that can produce severe weather conditions including heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning strikes. Thunder is produced by lightning and can be heard during a typhoon.
Thunderlightingwindand rain occur in which which of earth ospheres?
Thunder, lightning, wind, and rain occur in the Earth's atmosphere.
Why does thunder usually appear during storms that have lightning?
Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt due to the intense heat. This expansion creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder. So, thunder is typically associated with storms that have lightning because the two phenomena occur simultaneously.
What if lighting and thunder were caused in a snow storm what do you call that?
If lightning and thunder were to occur during a snowstorm, it would be called "thundersnow." Thundersnow happens when the atmosphere is unstable enough to produce lightning and thunder, similar to a typical thunderstorm but with snow falling instead of rain. Thundersnow is rare but can occur during intense winter weather conditions.
What is it called when lightning and thunder occur together?
When lightning and thunder occur simultaneously, it is known as a lightning strike. Lightning is the electrical discharge seen in the sky, while thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air around the lightning bolt.
Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder seemed to occur together?
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.
Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder seem occur together?
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.
Where do thunder and lightning commonly occur?
Florida
Can thunder storms occur without lightning?

Is thunder the same as lightning?
Thunder and lightning occur roughly at the same time during a thunderstorm, but they are different things. Typically you see the lightning first and then you hear the thunder.
Why does thunder ussually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
The thunder is the sound of lightning but you only hear the thunder after the flash because lightning is faster than the speed of sound.
Does it need to be raining for thunder and lightning to occur?
No, thunder and lightning can occur without rain. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge in the atmosphere that can happen in various weather conditions, including clear skies. Thunder is the sound caused by the rapid expansion of air around a lightning bolt.
Why does thundering occur with out lighting?
Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. While thunder is typically associated with lightning, it is possible to hear thunder without seeing the associated lightning if the lightning is occurring far away or behind clouds. This phenomenon is known as "heat lightning."
Why do thunder and lightning bolt occur at the same instant?
Thunder and lightning occur simultaneously because they are both produced by the same atmospheric phenomenon: a lightning strike. When lightning flashes, it superheats the air around it causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we hear as thunder, which is why we perceive the two events as happening at the same time.
Can Lightning and thunder occur simultaneously?
No. Thunder is the result of lightning when it hits the ground. After lightning hits the ground the air expands (because of the increase in temp.) and quickly condenses. That air condensing is what we hear when there is thunder. Because light travels faster than sound we see lightning then hear thunder.
Does it thunder and lighting every time it rains?
No. It is very common for rain to occur without thunder or lightning.
