The distance between you and the lightening can be estimated by counting the seconds between the two. Since sound travels about 1128 feet per second and there are 5280 feet in a mile, if you start counting when you see the light... one thousand one, one thousand two... and then each multiple of five will be about one mile. So, for example, if you count to ten, then the lightening strike was two miles away.
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.

The main characters in "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury are Charles Hatton & Travis Ryer.
Thunder is the sound produced by a lightning bolt.
A typical lightning bolt carries a charge of about 300 million volts. However, thunder itself is not made up of volts, it is the sound created by rapidly expanding air heated by the lightning discharge.
Thunder itself cannot be seen, as it is the sound created by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. However, lightning that causes thunder can be seen as a bright flash of light in the sky.
It still produces thunder - however... the further the sound wave travels through the air, the more it weakens. If you're a long way from the storm - chances are the sound of the thunder will have dissipated before it gets to you.
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.
The width of a thunder refers to the sound produced by lightning. Thunder can be heard up to 10 miles away from a lightning strike, with the volume of sound decreasing the further you are from the strike.
Sound travels roughly about 1 mile in 5 seconds.

well, if your far away then no. you wouldn't be able to hear the thunder. if how ever, you are close to the thunder storm you will hear thunder.
To determine the distance of the lightning strike, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given the speed of sound is 348 m/s and the time taken for thunder to be heard is 4.4 seconds, we can calculate the distance. Distance = 348 m/s x 4.4 s = 1531.2 meters. Therefore, the lightning strike was approximately 1531.2 meters away.
