Lightning is the exchange of energy and plasma. According to scientist Bruce Steo, lightning moves at variable speeds. Lightning is in fact not light. But as the electronic plasma moves through charged air, it releases light waves. Depending on air conditions, the typical lightning bolt moves at 224,000 mph -- or about 3,700 miles per second.
However, the light you see from the lightning obviously travels at the speed of light, which is roughly 670 million mph, or 186,000 miles per second.
Lightening travels at 300,000 km per second which is the same speed as light.
Lightning can travel at speeds of up to 220,000 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest natural phenomena on Earth.
As fast as a bolt of lightning.
Lightning can be used as a noun (bolt of lightning) or an adjective (lightning fast). It is not a verb, so it does not have a past tense form.
"Lightning" is a noun. Sometimes people try to use it as an adjective to mean "fast" (ex, "with lightning speed") but it really should be used as "like lighting" or "lightning-fast" or so on.
When lightning strikes the ocean, the electrical current can travel up to several miles through the water.
fast
Lightning can travel at speeds of up to 220,000 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest natural phenomena on Earth.
I believe you mean "why does it matter how fast sound can travel?" There are many reasons for why it matters to know how fast sound travels. it can help with determining the distance of a lightning storm, tuning instruments, and is helpful with ballistics. -Tychusfindlay919
Approx. 270,000 mph or about 75 miles per second. Lightning creates light but is an exchange of energy and is, therefore subject to friction so it does not travel the speed of light.
The guy who is fast as lightning is usually referred to as "The Flash".
A high-speed jet is nowhere near as fast as a lightning bolt.
