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.

What causes molecules in the air to make the sound know as thunder?
Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. When lightning strikes, it heats the air to temperatures around 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit (16,650 degrees Celsius) almost instantaneously. This intense heat causes the air to expand explosively, creating a shock wave that we perceive as the sound of thunder. The resulting sound waves travel through the atmosphere, producing the characteristic rumble or crack of thunder.

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.

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.
