Can you have thunder without lighting and vice-versa?

No, thunder only occurs when lightning strikes. Lightning produces a rapid expansion of heated air, causing the sound waves that we recognize as thunder. So, thunder always accompanies lightning, and you cannot have one without the other.

Is a thunderstorm a storm with only lightning?

No, a thunderstorm is a storm that includes lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and strong winds. Lightning is more of a characteristic activity that occurs during a thunderstorm, but it is not the only element of the storm.


Why does thunder happen ten seconds after lighting strikes?

It doesn't always. Thunder is the noise made by the lightning... it is a sonic shock wave which produces the noise we hear as thunder. The time taken for the light to reach us and the time taken for the sound to reach us differ because of the differing speeds of light and sound. As the speed of sound is so much slower than that of light we see a flash almost as soon as it happens, but we only hear the sound a lot later.... the lightning is approximately one kilometre distant for every 2.9 seconds which elapse between seeing the flash and hearing the crack. If there is a ten second delay then the lightning strike is a little under 3.5 kilometres away.


Does lightning only strike during thunderstorms?

Yes, lightning typically occurs during thunderstorms when there is a buildup of static electricity in the atmosphere. However, lightning can also strike outside of thunderstorms in certain conditions like volcanic eruptions, intense wildfires, or powerful dust storms.
