Why does thunder usually occur during storms that have lightning?
Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds separate, causing lightning to flash towards Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat the air all around it. This sudden burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as thunder.
When lighting appears in the remote distance and appears to produce no thunder it is called?
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.

What phobia is the fear of lightning?
Most sources cite 3 or 4 possible answers, however, almost all sources claim these to be the fear of 'thunder and lightning' Astraphobia Brontophobia Ceraunophobia Keraunophobia The most likely way these are broken down, are with Brontophobia being the fear of thunder bronto is the latin prefix for thunder, Cerauno/Kerauno-phobia being the fear of thunder AND lightning - since Cerauno/Kerauno are used as latin words for thunder *and* lightning (or either, but it can be both).
