What is the same as rain and thunder?

Rain is water, did you know that Rain isn't a neutral PH level of 7, it is actually a little acidic with a PH of 6?! Thunder is a sound wave made from lightning. You see the lightning 1st before you hear the thunder 2nd simply because that light is faster than sound.


What describes how you know what the sound of thunder means?

The sound of thunder is typically associated with lightning, as it occurs due to the rapid expansion of air heated by a lightning strike. This connection is learned through education, personal experience, and cultural teachings, which explain that thunder often indicates an approaching storm. Additionally, the familiar rumbling sound serves as a reminder of the power of nature, allowing us to recognize its significance. Over time, this understanding becomes instinctive as we associate the sound with specific weather patterns.


How are thunder and lightning different and where do they come from?

Thunder is the sound of lightning. It makes the BOOM sound. Lightning is the yellow squiggly line you see from the clouds. I don't really know how lightning became to be or where it actually comes from but somewhere inside the clouds i guess.


Why does thunder usually occur during storms that have lightning?

Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds separate, causing lightning to flash towards Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat the air all around it. This sudden burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as thunder.


How does sound travel in air compared to how it travels with water?

oh i think its because um um i dont know um, um i know, though! Air is less dense, so sound travels quickly through it. Water is more dense than air, so sound does not penetrate it as well...so um, um i do know :) haha

What is the definition of 'thunder'?

According to Webster, thunder is classified as "the sound that follows a flash of lightning and is caused by sudden expansion of the air in the path of the electrical discharge." In simpler terms, thunder is the sound produced by the speed of a lightning bolt, similar to a sonic boom produced by a fighter jet. Did you know that thunder is heard after lightning because sound is slower than light? For more definitions try: http://webster.com/

What is a good onomatopoeia for thunder?

It depends on whether you're looking for one word, or a series of words you can string together. One of the interesting things about onomatopoeia is that if you do a good enough job with it, in a piece of writing, you'll never have to mention the word "thunder" even once, for people to know what you're talking about. "Rumble" is usually the single word I think of most often, associated with the sound of thunder. But there are lots of other words that bring to mind the sound of thunder. "Thunder" itself, for that matter, kind of sounds like thunder. Consider the following words: Percussion, doubled, redoubled, crashing, rolling, cascading, bomb, -- any word that has a "crashing" sound or an "explosive" sound could be evocative of thunder, in one's imagination. "Boom!" could be a one-word sound for thunder. If you are writing something, as a story or a poem, you can string a lot of "thundery" sounding words together, to get the idea across. The list above is not at all complete -- just an example of a few words that can bring the sound of thunder to mind.

What is the relationship between thunder and lightning?

Lightning is an atmospheric discharge caused by a very large voltage difference between two objects, usually the clouds and the Earth. Lightning is actually electricity flying through the air. The voltage it takes for electricity to do so is in the millions of volts compared to your household voltage of 110/220v. When lightning moves through the air it 'ionizes' the air molecules, giving them a strong negative charge. Also, it creates a LOT of heat. These two effects force the air molecules to move very far apart in the vicinity of the lightning. Once the lightning has finished moving the air cools down quickly. Once they are cool and loose their ionic charge the molecules slam back together. The sound you know as thunder is the trillions of air molecules crashing together. Another visual: For the instant just after a lightning strike there is a vacuum formed in a rough tube shape where the bolt travelled. So for a spit second there is nothing where the lightning bolt was. The pressure, from the rest of the atmosphere, around this tube collapses it. The collapse creates a loud noise known as thunder.

Why ios there no sound in a vacuum?

No air for sound to travel throughIt helps to know what sound is all about. It is a wave, where, roughly speaking, energy is transferred from one molecule to the next; one molecule bumps into the next. Obviously this requires molecules to work.
