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.

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.
