When to much stress is brought on by the build up of electrons in upper clouds and a lack of electrons from below, energy is released in the form of bright lights, thus creating lightning.
The sound that makes thunder is created when the lightning heats up the surrounding air in an instant making the gasses in the air explode, thus making the popping noise.
Since light travels faster than sound, that's why lightning is seen before thunder is heard.
What else can I help you with?
When you see lightning strike you hear thunder first is this statement a scientific theory or a scientific law?
It's neither because it's an erroneous statement. Thunder is the sound made by lightning; it therefore cannot precede the lightning flash because the lightning flash travels at the speed of light and the thunder travels much more slowly at the speed of sound.
Lighting never strikes twice in the same place is this a theory?
The saying "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is a commonly held belief, but it is not a scientific theory. In reality, lightning can and does strike the same location multiple times, especially tall structures like skyscrapers and towers.
What do you call Lightning that appears as a single long line?
A lightning bolt A lightning leader A lightning strike A lightning stroke
Which one can you see -thunder or lightning?
you can see lightning
What is the adjective form of lightning?
The noun lightning itself (electrical discharge) is used as a noun adjunct, rather than an adjective, in such terms as lightning bolt or lightning rod. Only when the intent is to show great speed or quickness (lightning speed, lightning reflexes) is lightning an adjective.
When you see a lightning strike you will probably hear thunder soon is this a scientific theory or a scientific law?
This concept is based on a scientific principle rather than a theory or law. It is known as the relationship between lightning and thunder, where the sound of thunder follows the flash of lightning due to the rapid expansion and contraction of air molecules caused by the intense heat of the lightning.
Can lightning be turned into reusable energy?
In theory it should be possible, but I haven't heard of any actual machinery to use lightning energy. Perhaps you could design one.
Why do you see lightning before you see thunder in terms of wave theory?
You see lightning first because light travels faster then sound.Also, you don't see thunder - you hear it.
When you see lightning strike you hear thunder first is this statement a scientific theory or a scientific law?
It's neither because it's an erroneous statement. Thunder is the sound made by lightning; it therefore cannot precede the lightning flash because the lightning flash travels at the speed of light and the thunder travels much more slowly at the speed of sound.
When you see thunder you'll prbably hear lightning is this a scientific theory or a scientific law?
Neither, its nonsense.
What was Benjamin Franklin's theory of lightning?
Ben Franklin showed skills like eating, kissing, flirting, and looking at his own apperance in his mirror. He spent hours accessorizing and posing for his wife. That is what I read on Wikipedia.
Lighting never strikes twice in the same place is this a theory?
The saying "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is a commonly held belief, but it is not a scientific theory. In reality, lightning can and does strike the same location multiple times, especially tall structures like skyscrapers and towers.
If the science of lightning strikes could be harnessed in spacecraft would spacecraft travel at or near speed of light?
No. Lightning and propulsion systems that we currently use have no relation to each other. Lightning is an atmospheric phenomenon and there is no atmosphere in space. The only thing along this line of thinking that may be distantly related is the theory of using an ion drive as a propulsion system. According to the theory, this may allow spacecraft to approach the speed of light. Ions are produced during lightning strikes, so there is a slight correlation.
Is ball lightning killing people?
There have been very few documented cases of ball lightning causing harm to people. Most instances of ball lightning do not result in injury or death, as it is a rare and not well-understood phenomenon.
What is the adjective for lightning?
The adjective for lightning is "lightning." For example, you could say "a lightning storm" or "the lightning bolt."
What do you call Lightning that appears as a single long line?
A lightning bolt A lightning leader A lightning strike A lightning stroke
What were the 2 sources of energy suggested by oparin theory?
The two sources of energy suggested by Oparin's theory were ultraviolet light and lightning. These energy sources were thought to have provided the necessary energy for chemical reactions to occur and form organic molecules in the early Earth's atmosphere.
