Heat lightning does it kill

Answer 1

Potentially. Heat lightning is not a special kind of lightning: it is simply lightning that is too far away for the thunder to be heard. A fatal lightning bolt in a storm might only be visible as heat lightning 30 miles away.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as "heat lightning." It is a misleading term that somebody came up with and it caught on, but delve through any textbook on meteorology and you will not find it, because it doesn't exist. What most people call "heat lightning", essentially seeing flashes of lighting on the horizon but not hearing thunder with it, is simply a situation where the observer is too far away from the thunderstorm to hear the thunder. But there is definitely thunder. Remember, light travels faster and further than sound can.

Answer 3

I don't know but you know how far lightning is by doing these easy steps:

• When you see lightning, begin counting seconds (the time it takes to say one-one thousand = 1 second
• Continue to count until you hear thunder (light travels about 186,000 miles or 300,000 kilometers per second)
• Divide the number of seconds and the thunder by 5 to estimate the distance to the storm in miles (divide by three for kilometers

And that is how you know how far lightning is. Hope this helps!! <3 :)

Answer 4

Heat lightning is not a specific type of lightning, but rather a term used to describe distant lightning that is seen but not heard. It does not cause harm because it occurs in distant thunderstorms that are too far away for the lightning to pose a threat to those observing it.

Answer 5

Heat lightning is lightning that is too far away for you to hear it although, it is very visible in the night sky.
