Why don't the thunder and lightning come together?
Thunder and lighting do occur together during a thunderstorm. Lightning is a sudden discharge of electricity in the atmosphere, which creates the bright light that we see, while thunder is the sound created by the rapid expansion of air around the lightning bolt. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning before we hear the thunder.
Why does thunder ussually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
The thunder is the sound of lightning but you only hear the thunder after the flash because lightning is faster than the speed of sound.
Does it need to be raining for thunder and lightning to occur?
No, it doesn't need to rain for thunder and lightning to occur because the thunder and lightning need cold and warm air so they collide. The clouds are like big batteries and the lightning is the short circuit. also the lightning can be between the clouds and it doesn't strike down to the ground. also if the clouds have temperature conditions and it doesn't have to rain it just creates thunder and lightning.
Why does thundering occur with out lighting?
Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. While thunder is typically associated with lightning, it is possible to hear thunder without seeing the associated lightning if the lightning is occurring far away or behind clouds. This phenomenon is known as "heat lightning."
Why is thunder associated by lightning?
Lightning heats up the air and the heated expanding air causes the thunder sound. You can estimate how far away the lightening was by counting seconds after the flash, 6 seconds to a mile away.thunder is the sound of lightning after the lightning strike occurs
Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder seem occur together?
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.

Can thunder storms occur without lightning?

Is thunder the same as lightning?
Thunder and lightning occur roughly at the same time during a thunderstorm, but they are different things. Typically you see the lightning first and then you hear the thunder.

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.

What is it called when unstable atmospheric conditions lead to the formation of lightning and thunder?
That's called a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms occur when warm, moist air rises rapidly in an unstable atmosphere, causing the formation of lightning and thunder due to the electrical charges within the clouds.
