Why does thunder usually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds separate, causing lightning to flash towards Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat the air all around it. This sudden burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as thunder.
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 heat lightning real?
No, heat lightning is not a scientifically recognized phenomenon. The term is commonly used to describe the distant, flickering lightning flashes that illuminate the sky during a thunderstorm, but are too far away to hear the accompanying thunder.
Why do you often hear thunder when you see lightning?
You often hear thunder when you see lightning because lightning produces a sudden and rapid heating of the air around it, causing it to expand quickly. This rapid expansion creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder. The farther away you are from the lightning, the longer it takes for the sound to reach you.
What causes continuous lightning without thunder?
Continuous lightning without thunder can be caused by a phenomenon called "heat lightning," which occurs when distant lightning flashes are too far away for the sound of thunder to be heard.

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.

What is dry thunder?
Dry thunder is a weather phenomenon where thunder and lightning occur without any accompanying precipitation reaching the ground. It can increase the risk of wildfires because the lightning strikes can ignite dry vegetation.
What does a thunder storm cause?
-- flashes of light -- booms of sound -- some ozone -- rain -- wind
Who were mountain wolf woman's sisters?
White Thunder, Bald Eagle, Haksigaga, Distant Flashes
What matches heat lightning?
Heat lightning refers to the faint flashes of light seen on warm, humid nights, typically without accompanying thunder. It is caused by distant thunderstorms, where the lightning is too far away for the sound of thunder to be heard. The phenomenon often appears as a glow on the horizon, illuminating the clouds. Essentially, heat lightning matches the occurrence of lightning from storms that are beyond the observer's range of hearing.
What causes continuous lightning without thunder?
Continuous lightning without thunder can be caused by a phenomenon called "heat lightning," which occurs when distant lightning flashes are too far away for the sound of thunder to be heard.
A distant lightning can be seen several seconds before the accompanying thunder is heard. Why?
Light travels faster than sound
