Why do we see lightning first and then followed by thunder?
Lightning and thunder are phenomena that happen simultaneously but are observed at different times due to the difference in speed of light and sound. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning flash first and then hear the thunder that follows it later.
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.
What is The loud crashing or rumbling noise heard after a flash of lightning?
Thunder is the loud crashing or rumbling noise heard after a flash of lightning. This happens because lightning heats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we hear as thunder.
When you see a lightning strike you will probably hear thunder soon is this a scientific theory or a scientific law?
This concept is based on a scientific principle rather than a theory or law. It is known as the relationship between lightning and thunder, where the sound of thunder follows the flash of lightning due to the rapid expansion and contraction of air molecules caused by the intense heat of the lightning.
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 flash of lightning and the thunder that follows?
thunderstorm
Why do we see lightning first and then followed by thunder?

Does thunder have a flash?
Thunder is the sound produced by lightning as it rapidly heats and expands the air. It is not a flash like lightning, but rather the result of the shock wave created by the sudden expansion of the air.
How is thunder produced and how far away does the lightning strikes if the thunder is heard 15 seconds after the lightning is seen?
Thunder - is the result of a lightning flash. The flash causes the surrounding air to move away from the source at 300 metres/second. An approximate calculation for the relationship between the lightning flash to hearing the thunder, is 5 seconds per mile.
Does thunder cause lightning or does lightning cause thunder. Explain?
Lightning causes thunder. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge that you see as a bolt or flash of light. Thunder is the sound caused when the lightning superheats the air, creating a shockwave.
Why are you hearing thundering after lightning?
A lightning flash travels at the speed of light. The sound of thunder travels much slower. Therefore, we see the flash before we hear the thunder.
Is thunder an adverb?
No. Thunder is a noun. There is an adjective form (thunderous, meaning loud) and an adverb form (thunderously, in a very loud manner).
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.
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 The loud crashing or rumbling noise heard after a flash of lightning?
Thunder is the loud crashing or rumbling noise heard after a flash of lightning. This happens because lightning heats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we hear as thunder.
What is stronger lightning or thunder?
Thunder i guess but lightning make a sound of thunder so it would probably be both!
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.
