Yes, it is possible for lightning to occur without making any sound. This type of lightning is known as "silent lightning" or "heat lightning," and it occurs when the lightning is too far away for the sound to be heard.

This phenomenon is known as "heat lightning."

How can you have thunderstorms without lightning?

Thunderstorms typically include lightning as a result of electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. However, in some cases, thunderstorms can occur without visible lightning due to certain weather conditions, such as the absence of sufficient charge separation or the lightning occurring within the cloud itself, known as "intra-cloud" lightning.


Can lightning strike while there's a rainbow?

Does it need to be raining for thunder and lightning to occur?

No, it doesn't need to rain for thunder and lightning to occur because the thunder and lightning need cold and warm air so they collide. The clouds are like big batteries and the lightning is the short circuit. also the lightning can be between the clouds and it doesn't strike down to the ground. also if the clouds have temperature conditions and it doesn't have to rain it just creates thunder and lightning.
