Why can't you see thunder?
Thunder is our name for the sound made by lightning. The reason there is (usually) a delay between when you see the bolt of lightning and hear the thunder is that light travels more quickly than does sound. This is the reason that you can count seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder to figure out how close the lightning is to you. When the lightning is closer to you, the sound doesn't take as much time to travel to your ears and thus the gap between the lightning and thunder is shorter. So you can't see thunder because it's merely a sound - but you can see the source of that sound.
What the sound of thunder?
Thunder is the sound of lightning, because lightning moves faster then sound it takes a few seconds for the sound to catch up. So there is no sound of thunder, thunder is just the sound of lightning.

What is the Difference between the thunderstorms and lightning?
Lightning is light energy, or electromagnetic energy. And thunder is sound energy.
During a thunderstorm you see the lightning followed by the sound of the thunder What causes the delay between the light and the sound?
The delay between the lightning and the sound of thunder is due to the difference in speed between light and sound. Light travels much faster than sound, so we see the lightning first before hearing the thunder. By counting the seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, you can estimate how far away the lightning struck.
Why is there a delay between the lightning an thunder?
There is a delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder because the speed of light (lightning) is much faster than the speed of sound (thunder). Thus, you SEE lightning first, and then you HEAR thunder later.

If you hear thunder 3 seconds after you see lightning and sound travels at a speed of 330 meters per second the how far away is the storm?
The time difference between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is due to the difference in the speed of light and sound. Since sound travels at 330 meters per second, if you hear thunder 3 seconds after seeing lightning, the storm is approximately 990 meters away.
Why does the thunder sound hollow?
Because it is lighting between clouds. Most of the sound originates at the same distance from you. So the frequency of the sound is nearly the same. Therefor you can hear the harmonics created by the small difference in frequency.
What is the difference between heat lightning and regular lightning?
Heat lightning is a term used to describe lightning that can be seen from a distance without hearing thunder. It is usually from a distant storm and is not directly associated with the thunderstorm you are observing. Regular lightning produces thunder because it is closer to you, and the sound of thunder travels slower than light, causing a delay between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder.

Why is the sound of a thunder heard after the lighting is seen although they are produced at the same time?
Light travels faster than sound, so when lightning strikes, the light is seen immediately while the sound takes time to reach our ears. The delay in hearing the thunder allows us to calculate the distance of the storm based on the time difference between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder.

Why can't we store thunder voltage?
Thunder voltage cannot be stored because thunder is simply the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. Voltage, on the other hand, is a measure of electric potential difference between two points and cannot be stored as a sound wave.
