No, it doesn't need to rain for thunder and lightning to occur because the thunder and lightning need cold and warm air so they collide. The clouds are like big batteries and the lightning is the short circuit. also the lightning can be between the clouds and it doesn't strike down to the ground. also if the clouds have temperature conditions and it doesn't have to rain it just creates thunder and lightning.
What else can I help you with?
Is thunder the sound lightning bolts make i really need help?
Thunder is the sound created by lightning. The sound is generated by rapidly expanding gas near the electric arc of a lightning bolt.
Do you need thunder and lightning to exist?
No, thunder and lightning do not need to exist for life to exist on Earth. They are natural phenomena caused by electrical discharge during thunderstorms, and while they play important roles in the environment, they are not essential for life to thrive.
When you count seconds between when you hear thunder and when you see lightning strike what does it tell you?
Since light travels faster than sound, you can tell how many miles away a thunder storm is by counting. Lightning strikes. 5 seconds pass and you heard thunder. The thunder storm is 5 miles away.
Is it the law that people have to get out of the pool in a thunder storm?
Yes, it is a common safety practice and often enforced as a rule at public pools that people must exit the pool during a thunderstorm. Water is a good conductor of electricity, and being in the pool during a thunderstorm increases the risk of being struck by lightning.
How To know how far away lighting is?
To measure the distance of the site of lightening, you will need a stopwatch. As soon as lightening occurs, turn on the stopwatch and wait until you here the roar of thunder. Stop the stopwatch as soon as you hear the sound of thunder. Multiply the time with 340 and the value you get will be the distance of the lightening from the place you are standing. The principle behind this is that, light travels very fast. As soon as lightening occurs, you can realize the flash. But sound travels at an average speed of 340 meters/second. So the sound of thunder takes sometime to reach your ears in spite of the fact that both thunder and lightening have the same origin. By multiplying the time of the stopwatch with 340, you calculate the distance travelled by the sound wave, which is also the distance of the source of lightening from the place you are standing at.

Where do thunder storms occur?
Most thunder storms occur in the late spring to late summer. They need warm, moist, air to occur. Storms usually occur in the early to late afternoon when the air is most warmest.
What do lightning and thunder do in a storm?
The lightning is electromagnetic waves that travel through the clouds. when these waves meet with with another set of its kind they create a lightning bolt of some shape. The thunder ia like a sonic boom but not quite. Thunder is made by when the eletromagnetic waves have touched. They sort of crash in to each other. In that case creating lightning and to the following the thunder!!
Is it true that if there is lightning and thunder mushrooms come out?
Sort of. Mushrooms need a bit of moisture, and thunder is often followed by rain. So it's not really the thunder & lightning that brings the mushrooms out, but the accompanying rain that does it.Only rain would work just as well, but not be quite as noticeable.Lightning and thunder cannot cause mushrooms to grow, but they are usually accompanied by rain, and fungi (a mushroom is part of a fungus) grow best in moist environments.
Why does thunder occur?
The rapid heating of the air from lightning creates a pressure wave in the air that we hear as a loud thunderclap. If its farther away we hear "rolling" thunder as the wave dissipates with distance; if it's close, the thunder can be a sharp crack !
Thunder is created by?
Lightning is formed by particles in the clouds, that on the top forms a Positive charge, and on the bottom a Negative charge, these particles continue to form, and when there are to many particles in the clouds, some need to go, and when they go, they come out as Static electricity, which this is called Lightning, and the more particles there are, the more will need to be given, and that means the more lightning there is.
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). This leaves Astraphobia as the specific fear of lightning alone. However, the 3-4 words are used interchangably for fear of thunder and/or lightning, so you'll probably find you'd need to specifically state which you mean, no matter which of the words you use.
How many seconds do you need to find the miles to the lightning?
To find the miles to the lightning, you can count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder (time interval). Divide this number by 5 to get the distance in miles, as sound travels at about 1 mile every 5 seconds.
How do you dance the rain dance?
