There are different things that make thunder and lightning. Thunder is made when air expands rapidly which causes the noise. Lightning on the other hand is created by an electric discharge.
No, the two are quite different. The main difference is lightning is light, thunder is sound. Lightning is an electric charge that can come from a cloud for various reasons. Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, lightning comes first, thunder second.
Thunder is "heleleʻi" and lightning is "ainalā" in Hawaiian.
Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity, often seen during a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. So, without thunder, lightning would still be the sudden and bright flash of electricity in the sky.
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.
Thunder is not electricity itself, but rather the sound that results from the rapid expansion and contraction of air heated by a lightning bolt. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, which can produce the sound we hear as thunder.
Thunder
No. Thunder is the noise that lightning makes.
The thunder is a result of lightning because thunder has air molecules that are superheated o make electricity
Because of the lightning
Lightning heats up the air and the heated expanding air causes the thunder sound. You can estimate how far away the lightening was by counting seconds after the flash, 6 seconds to a mile away.thunder is the sound of lightning after the lightning strike occurs
In Greek mythology, Zeus, the god of thunder and lightning, was believed to wield the power to create thunder during storms. It was believed that the sound of thunder was created when Zeus threw his lightning bolts from the sky.
Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. When lightning strikes, it superheats the air, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shockwave that we hear as thunder.
thunder is the sound of lightning if that is what you are asking
No, the two are quite different. The main difference is lightning is light, thunder is sound. Lightning is an electric charge that can come from a cloud for various reasons. Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, lightning comes first, thunder second.
The Latin words for thunder and lightning are: Thunder = Tonitrus Lightning = Fulgoris, Fulgor Storm = Procella
Thunder is the sound lightning makes and can range from 80 to 120 decibels.
