Why is there a delay between the lightning an thunder?
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.
Why do you see thunder after you see the flash of lightning?
You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
Why do sometimes hear thunder at about the same time you see flash of lightning but other times you hear thunder after the flash?
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.
Which is stronger lighting or thunder?
Thunder is the sound that lightning makes when it strikes so it isn't possible to answer this question. Lightning is a reaction to rising heat from the earth's surface combining with cold air in the clouds. This creates a negatively charged bolt of electricity which streaks through the clouds, and around 20% of this electricity will "attack" a positively charged item, usually on the ground. Since lightning is faster than the speed of sound, it breaks the sound barrier making a sound we call thunder.
Is it true that thunder and lightning simultaneous?
Yes, technically thunder and lightning originate at the same time. However, light travels much faster than sound so even though they start simultaneously you will hear the thunder after you see the lightning unless you are very close to the bolt.
What is stronger lightning or thunder?
Thunder i guess but lightning make a sound of thunder so it would probably be both!
Is thunder bolt weaker than thunder?
A thunder bolt is simply an incorrect name for a lightning bolt. And, since lightning carries much more energy than thunder, the "thunderbolt" is NOT weaker than thunder.
How does a thunderstorm create lightning and thunder?
Yes, A Lightning storm produces lightning, thunder comes with the light. Thunder comes after lightning because sound is slower than light.
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.
Why don't the thunder and lightning come together?
Thunder and lighting do occur together during a thunderstorm. Lightning is a sudden discharge of electricity in the atmosphere, which creates the bright light that we see, while thunder is the sound created by the rapid expansion of air around the lightning bolt. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning before we hear the thunder.
Is water stronger than lightning?
Water is not inherently stronger than lightning; their strength and power depend on the context. Water can conduct electricity, so if lightning were to strike a body of water, it could potentially cause harm. But in terms of raw destructive power, lightning is typically more dangerous than water.
Why is there a delay between the lightning an thunder?
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.
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.
Why do you see thunder after you see the flash of lightning?
You don't see thunder. You hear thunder. You hear thunder after seeing the lightning because light travels faster than sound. The further the storm away is, the bigger the time between when you see the lightning and hear the thunder.
What is stronger than lightning?
The hammer of thor
Why do you not hear thunder right away?
If you mean hearing thunder right after a lightning, it is because sound travels slower than light, and thus, you would hear the thunder a bit later than seeing a lightning strike.
Is thunder the eco of lightning?
thunder is the sound of lightning if that is what you are asking
