Thunder is the sound that lightning makes when it strikes so it isn't possible to answer this question. Lightning is a reaction to rising heat from the earth's surface combining with cold air in the clouds. This creates a negatively charged bolt of electricity which streaks through the clouds, and around 20% of this electricity will "attack" a positively charged item, usually on the ground. Since lightning is faster than the speed of sound, it breaks the sound barrier making a sound we call thunder.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Does thunder always mean lightning?
No, thunder doesn't always mean lightning. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air around a lightning bolt as it heats up creating a shock wave. So while thunder is commonly associated with lightning, it is possible to have thunder without seeing the accompanying lightning, especially if the lightning is far away or obstructed from view.
Lighting without Thunder?
Lightning without thunder is not possible since thunder is directly caused by lightning. When lightning strikes, it superheats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we perceive as thunder. The closer you are to the lightning, the louder the thunder will be.
