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.

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 sound of thunder mean?
The sound of thunder is the result of the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. When lightning strikes, it heats the air to extremely high temperatures, causing it to expand explosively and create a shockwave. This shockwave travels through the air as sound waves, producing the rumbling or cracking noise we associate with thunder. The intensity and duration of the sound can vary based on factors like distance from the lightning and atmospheric conditions.
How do you here lightining?
Thunder is the sound produced by a lightning bolt.
How many volts are there in thunder?
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.
What does thunder look like?
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.
During raining what comes first thunder or lightining?
During a thunderstorm, lightning occurs first, followed by thunder. This is because light travels faster than sound; you see the flash of lightning before you hear the sound of thunder. The time difference between the two can help estimate how far away the storm is, as each five seconds between the flash and the sound roughly corresponds to one mile.
When lightning appears in the remote distance and appears to produce no thunder sound?
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.
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.
How wide is a thunder?
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.
When lightning appears in the remote distance and appears to produce no thunder sound it is called?
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.
How can you determine the distance of sound?
Sound travels roughly about 1 mile in 5 seconds.
Can thunder always be heard?
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.
What the sound of thunder?

When Sound travels at 348 ms in the warm air surrounding a thunderstorm. How far away was the place of discharge if thunder is heard 4.40 s after a lightning flash?
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.
