How do clouds HOLD lightning and thunder?

they dont. cloud action creates lightning. "vast amounts of static electricity" the release of this electricity makes the air expand and vibrate which creates a sound burst that we hear as thunder.


Why do you hear thunder before lightning?

Lightning causes the thunder, so it actually has to precede the thunder. If you are close to the lightning, they may seem to occur simultaneously. Since light travels faster than sound, the thunder will always lag behind the lightning.Light moves at 299 million metres per second. Sound moves at 340 metres per second (at sea level in air). When lightning occurs, the light and the creation of the sound occur at the same time and place. Thunder is due to the rapid expansion of superheated air which the lightning causes.The flash of light (lightning) arrives first because light waves move at roughly a million times faster than sound waves. By counting the seconds between flash and sound (assuming the storm is not so violent that lightning flashes and thunder claps cannot be paired off), you can determine how close it was to you.In the English system, each 5 seconds difference is about a mile away. In the metric system, every 3 seconds is about a kilometer. Differences in elevation can make this imprecise.If the flash and sound are simultaneous, the source of the lightning is very close, so you might want to go inside immediately and if possible, not touch anything connected to the house's electrical, Plumbing, or wired telephone systems. If you are outdoors, stay out from under trees and away from tall objects and metal fences. Keep a low profile, even if it means ducking into a ditch.Remember that electricity seeks the path of least resistance to ground, and the rain that accompanies the lightning enhances that effect, so stay dry and indoors - and avoid conductive systems as described above. THIS IS TOO LONG


Which planet produces lots of electricity?

Jupiter is known to produce a substantial amount of electricity in the form of lightning flashes in its atmosphere. These lightning storms are one of the most powerful in our solar system.


Will lightning kill you if you are inside on the floor?

Anything is possible. But there is such a slight chance of that happening. How to stay safe indooors: . stay away from windows . dont take a bath or shower . dont be near an outlet or dont plug your laptop into the wall and use it . Unplug any tech to protect it from exploding... (Unplug TV Dish and TV Especially) . DO NOT hold a metallic object... (e.g: Spoon or Knife) . I personally shut the curtains too... . You could also go to bed and read a book or rest, but this is optional! :D

Can thunder kill people?

Thunderstorms can create a number of hazards that can kill or injure people. Te most ovbvious is lightning, which injures dozens of people every year. Lighting can also spark dangerous fires. Heavy downpours frm thunderstorms can cause flooding, which is another common cause of weather-related death and injure. Severe wind gusts can topple trees, send light objects flying, and knock down power lines. Related to wind, some thunderstorms produce tornadoes. Some severe thunderstorms can produce hail, which can injure those caught in it, and has even been deadly in a few instances.
