Cumulonimbus.
Cumulonimbus clouds often bring thunderstorms.
Thunder is always heard after lightning flashes. The sounds from thunder can be heard from miles away, but you can see lightning and NOT hear thunder. Never the other way around.
The clouds that are often associated with producing disastrous weather are cumulonimbus clouds. They can produce everything from heavy rain to lightning to hail, gusts, and even tornadoes.
Differential electrical charges within the clouds or between the clouds and the ground cause the lightning. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of the air that the lightning passes through, the air expands because it is heated by the lightning to many thousands of degrees very quickly. Thunder is the sound of lightning hitting the ground, and lightning is just the electric attraction between the cloud and the ground Actually, thunder is the release of energy and lightning occurs when opposite charges build up in thunderstorm cloud. As a result around 58 are killed and more than 300 are injured due to lightning strikes. It's when the clouds gather up the energy from the Sun (thats why the Sun soon hides away) and it builds up electricity and they release the energy which is lightning. Clouds don't create thunder, Lightning does because thunder is that sound when lightning occurs.

A transient, sometimes violent storm of thunder and lightning, often accompanied by rain and sometimes hail.
Lightning
thunderstorms and other intense weather. Cumulus humilis clouds, appearing as small or medium-sized puffy shapes in the sky, often occur in times of fair weather. However, cumulus clouds can grow into cumulonimbus clouds which may produce heavy rain, lightning, severe and strong winds, hail, and even tornadoes. Cumulus congestus clouds, which appear as relatively thin towers, will often grow into cumulonimbus storm clouds. Hope this helps
Yes, often they do. This structure is often called an anvil.

The lightning bolt has often been associated to Zeus.

Lightning is the electrical discharge which neutralises the static electricity built up within the cloud or between cloud and earth.The very hot plasma bolt which transmits the electrical current super heats water molecules which expand with such speed that they produce the sound of thunder.The only way I can think that this is not the case is if the air is very dry indeed. Almost without exception, the two will always occur together.
A thunderstorm. A thunderstorm produces thunder and lightning, rain, and not very often but hail as well.
