Lightning is light energy, or electromagnetic energy. And thunder is sound energy.
Since lightning is an electrical current, normally in a thunderstorm, little pieces of ice way up in the cloud collide together fast and hard, making an electrical charge, which then eventually makes an electrical current that is known as lightning.
A lightning storm is a storm that primarily consists of frequent lightning strikes with little to no rain or thunder. A thunderstorm, on the other hand, is a storm that produces thunder and lightning, as well as heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes hail. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air around a lightning bolt.
Any storm that has lightning and thunder is a thunderstorm. It wouldn't matter if there was snow, rain or no precipitation falling, if there is lightning it is a thunderstorm
A storm that produces lightning is called a thunderstorm or a lightning storm. Lightning can be stationary or move around.
Lightning travels both up and down during a thunderstorm.
Wind is the movement of air. A thunderstorm is a rain shower that produces thunder and lightning.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm.

the difference between lightning and a taser is i have no idea

Lightning is created by a thunderstorm, not the other way around. Not all "thunderstorms" (cumulonimbus cloud formations) have lightning, but that is how they were named.
Heat lightning is a term used to describe lightning that can be seen from a distance without hearing thunder. It is usually from a distant storm and is not directly associated with the thunderstorm you are observing. Regular lightning produces thunder because it is closer to you, and the sound of thunder travels slower than light, causing a delay between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder.
A thunderstorm cloud is a type of rain cloud that produces thunder and lightning due to the presence of strong updrafts and downdrafts within the cloud. While rain clouds can produce precipitation in the form of rain, they do not necessarily have the same intense vertical movement and electrical activity as thunderstorm clouds.
Lightning travels both up and down during a thunderstorm.
Lightning travels in a downward direction from the clouds to the ground during a thunderstorm.
