The Vikings believed that, during a thunder storm, the Norse god of thunder, Thor, was riding in his chariot. Whenever lightning flashed, the Vikings believed that Thor was throwing his hammer, Mjollnir.

Lighting without Thunder?

Lightning without thunder is not possible since thunder is directly caused by lightning. When lightning strikes, it superheats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we perceive as thunder. The closer you are to the lightning, the louder the thunder will be.


What if lighting and thunder were caused in a snow storm what do you call that?

If lightning and thunder were to occur during a snowstorm, it would be called "thundersnow." Thundersnow happens when the atmosphere is unstable enough to produce lightning and thunder, similar to a typical thunderstorm but with snow falling instead of rain. Thundersnow is rare but can occur during intense winter weather conditions.
