Lightning actually is light. Just as light is created when you rub your socks on the carpet and shock someone in the dark, the light from lightning is caused by an electric discharge but instead of being between your body and someone elses, lightning is between the Earth and the atmosphere. Just as electricity from an electrical socket produces a bright "shock", lightning is a bright light that can be seen even in the daytime.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you see lightning before you hear the thunder it makes?
Lightning is seen first because light travels much faster than sound.The light from the lightning reaches you almost instantly, while the sound of thunder travels much slower through the air, resulting in a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder.

What are the similarities of thunder and lightning?

Is lightning a light source or reflector?
Lightning is not a traditional light source like the sun or a light bulb, as it does not produce light through a thermal or chemical process. Instead, lightning is an electrical discharge that generates light as a result of the rapid heating and ionization of air molecules along its path. Therefore, lightning can be considered a light source in the sense that it emits light, rather than a reflector that simply bounces light off its surface.
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.
Is lightning or sound faster?
Lightning. Because it is the speed of light.
Is lightning a source of light?
