Yes, a smashed lightning bug (or firefly) can still produce light for a short time after being crushed. This is because the light is produced by a chemical reaction involving luciferin and luciferase, which can still occur in the tissues of the insect even after it is damaged. However, the light may not be as bright or last as long as it would in a living firefly.
When lightning appears in the distance without accompanying thunder, it is referred to as "heat lightning." This phenomenon occurs when the lightning bolt is too far away for the sound of thunder to be heard, typically beyond 10 miles. The light from the flash can still be visible, especially on warm summer nights, giving the impression of lightning without any audible thunder.
When lightning appears in the remote distance without producing a thunder sound, it is often referred to as "heat lightning." This phenomenon occurs when the lightning is too far away for the sound of thunder to reach the observer, typically occurring during warm summer evenings. The light from the lightning can still be seen, but the absence of thunder indicates that the storm is not directly overhead.
Fire can be as cold as 932 degrees Fahrenheit (500 degrees Celsius) and still produce heat and light.
The sudden appearance of lightning in the sky without any accompanying sound is typically caused by a type of lightning called "heat lightning." Heat lightning occurs when distant lightning strikes are too far away for the sound to be heard, but the light can still be seen.
Thunder is caused by the explosive expansion of air that gets super-heated very quickly by a lightning bolt. There can be no thunder without lightning, although you may not be able to see the lightning that caused it.
Yes, lightning can strike without a storm. This type of lightning, known as "clear-air lightning," occurs when the electric fields in the atmosphere are strong enough to produce lightning even in the absence of clouds or rain. These strikes are rare but can still pose a danger to individuals outdoors.
Yes.

The speed of lightning is the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second) in a vacuum. If lightning traveled in a straight line instead of zigzagging, it would still move at the speed of light.
When lightning strikes with no thunder, it is called heat lightning. This phenomenon occurs when lightning is too far away for the sound to be heard but the light can still be seen. Heat lightning is typically observed on hot summer nights.
When lightning appears in the remote distance and appears to produce no thunder sound, it is popularly known as "heat lightning." Meteorologists will tell you that there really is no such thing as a distinct type of lightning that is not followed by thunder. All lightning produces thunder, but it is only audible for a distance of some 15-20 miles from the storm. At night, lightning can be seen for distances of up to 125 miles if the conditions are right. So when lightning is seen but no thunder is heard, you are simply too far away from the storm.
