Look for the lightning flash, and count the seconds until the thunder is heard. Every 5 seconds equals one mile of distance. While the light appears almost instantly sound travels at about 1200 fps, or roughly 5 seconds per mile.
In metric units the speed of sound in air is approximately 330 m/s so every 3 seconds is roughly equivalent to 1 km.
What else can I help you with?
If the time lag between seeing the flash of lighting and hearing the thunder is 4 seconds how far away is the lighting?
The time lag between seeing the flash of lightning and hearing the thunder corresponds to the distance between you and the lightning strike. To calculate this distance, you can use the fact that sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second in air. So, for a 4-second time lag, the lightning strike is approximately 1372 meters away.
Does thunder flash 5 mins after lightning?

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.
