If the storm is 8 kilometers away how many seconds will pass before you hear thunder?

A lightning strike is about 1,100 feet away if you hear the thunder one second after the lightning flash. The distance varies somewhat with temperature, air pressure, and other environmental conditions.

When an explosion in the atmosphere occurs Why do you see lightning before the thunder heard?
this is because you hear the thunder after it actually makes the sound ( because sound travells ) . lightenging and thunder happen at exactly the same time... so if u see lightenging, try counting how many seconds until u hear the thunder. if it is 5 seconds the storm is 5 miles away into the sky, 6 seconds would be 6 miles 7secs 7 miles and so on. hope this helped :) xx

How can you count the distance of a storm cell by the thunder?
Count the seconds between when the lightning flashes and the sound of the thunder. Divide the number of seconds that pass by five to get the distance in miles or by eight to get the number of kilometers. Note that this only gives you the distance to the bolt of lightning. The storm cell itself is probably at least a few miles across.
Is there wind before a thunder storm?
No
Can you calculate storm distance between thunder claps?
If you count the number of seconds from when you see the flash of lightening to when you hear the thunder, you will have a rough estimate as how far the storm is.
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.

Why does lightning appear before thunder in rainy season?
If the center of the storm is directly over you, the thunder and lightning occur simultaneously - and startlingly loudly. But most of the time, we see the lightning well before we hear the thunder because you see things instantaneously, due to the speed of light. But you hear things much more slowly. It takes five seconds for sound to travel a mile. Hence, if you see lightning, then hear the thunder ten seconds later, the center of the storm is two miles away.
If it takes 10 seconds for it to thunder after it lighting strikes how far is the storm?
Five seconds is one mile away.Ten seconds is two miles away.
If it take 10 seconds for its to thunder after a lighting strikes how far is the storm?

How do you tell how far away a storm is?
To tell how far away a storm is note the seconds between the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. Every second between lightning and thunder represents one mile.

What is the actual method for finding the distance you are from the storm using lightning and thunder?
For a long time it was thought by many people that the number of seconds after the lightning strikes is the miles the center of the storm is from you. Although this does show how light travels faster than sound, this system is wrong. The actual method for finding the distance the heart of the storm is from you is by counting after you see lightning; and stop counting after you hear the thunder. Now, for every five seconds after the lightning struck until you hear the thunder, it is one mile away. So if ten seconds go by between lightning and thunder, the center of the storm is two miles away.
