Lightning is a high-voltage electrical discharge that occurs between a cloud and the ground, within a cloud, or from cloud to cloud. It is caused by the buildup and discharge of electrical energy in the atmosphere, resulting in a visible flash of light and the accompanying sound of thunder.

How big is a lightning bolt in terms of size and scale?
A lightning bolt can vary in size, but on average it is about 1 inch in diameter and can stretch for several miles in length.
What is the scientific difference between lightning and thunder?
Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity that occurs within a thunderstorm, usually from cloud to ground or within a cloud. Thunder is the sound caused by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt, due to the intense heat generated by the lightning. In essence, lightning is the visible discharge of electricity, while thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air.
What is the relationship between thunder and lightning?
Thunder and lightning are closely related natural phenomena that occur during a thunderstorm. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that happens when electrical charges build up in the atmosphere, while thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air around the lightning bolt. In simple terms, lightning causes thunder due to the intense heat and energy it releases, creating a shockwave that produces the booming sound we hear.
How is density written in scientific terms?

What is the adjective form of lightning?

When you see lightning strike you hear thunder first is this statement a scientific theory or a scientific law?
It's neither because it's an erroneous statement. Thunder is the sound made by lightning; it therefore cannot precede the lightning flash because the lightning flash travels at the speed of light and the thunder travels much more slowly at the speed of sound.
What is sheet or heat lightning?
Sheet lightning and heat lightning are descriptive terms rather than scientific. Sheet lighting is cloud to cloud lightning that is viewed from such a distance that there is no sound. Heat lightning can be either cloud to cloud or cloud to ground at same distance with the added element of color tinting from atmospheric particles as with a sunset.
