Rain typically follows thunder within a few minutes, though the exact timing can vary. Thunder is produced by lightning, which can strike several miles away from the rain itself. Generally, if you hear thunder, you can expect rain to start shortly after, but it may take up to 30 minutes or more in some cases, depending on the storm's intensity and distance. For a rough estimate, counting the seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder, with every five seconds indicating approximately one mile, can help gauge how far away the storm is.

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.

Which of the five senses develops first?

Scientists have done many tests on the middle aged to elderly wondering "What sense will begin to fail first?". The tests show that it is between hearing and taste. You know that lots of elderly have hearing problems, the problems can start as soon as 35. Taste problems are common, but nobody really notices. Taste dullness can occur as soon as 38, but it goes slowly. That's why they don't bother to serve the elderly great tasting food.
