electricity is electrons jumping to protons. So when you see a lightning strike it is actually thousands of electrons jumping to Earth
sometimes they are used interchangeably but technically a Lightning storm involves visible lightning bolts striking the earth. A thunderstorm on the other hand just involves the sound thunder, although thunder may be the sound of lighting striking but the lightning may not be visible or strike the earth directly so the proper name would be thunderstorm in this example.
No, the two are quite different. The main difference is lightning is light, thunder is sound. Lightning is an electric charge that can come from a cloud for various reasons. Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, lightning comes first, thunder second.
No, because lightning is a source of light and electricity. which can cause serious damage to trees, human etc.
Thunder is the sound of the lightening
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.

Thunder and lightning go hand in hand and basically it is the same arrester that works for both. Yes. Thunder lightning arrester and thunder arrested are the same.

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.
you are probably hearing the thunder from a different lightning strike.
well.....there is a thunder god, so i can safely assume that the thunder and lightning god are the same. he is THOR
Thunder is the sound of the lightening
Jupiter is the same as Zeus and he is the god of the sky and lightning

No. Lightning is caused by electrical charges travelling from clouds to the earth, earth to clouds or cloud to cloud. Thunder is caused by lightning.
Light waves travel faster than sound waves!
