The old Norse term for lightning is "krossöld".
In Norse mythology, Thor does not have a thunderbolt for a weapon nor named.
Lightning got its name from the Old English word "lighting," which means to illuminate or make bright. The word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "leuhtingaz," which is related to the Proto-Indo-European root "leuk-," meaning light or brightness. The name reflects the intense brightness and illumination that lightning provides during a thunderstorm.
A mjolnir is the hammer of Thor in Norse mythology. This is slightly different from the comic book version of Thor and his hammer. It is a formidable weapon that has great power; several other Norse gods have tried to harness it's power and failed.
The onomatopoeia for lightning is "zap" or "crack." These words mimic the sudden and sharp sound of thunder during a lightning strike.
Heat lightning is actually a weather phenomenon and not a form of lightning. It refers to the distant flashes of lightning that can be seen on the horizon during a hot summer night, without the accompanying thunder because the storm is too far away. The irony lies in the term "heat lightning" as it has no actual connection to heat, but rather to the distant lightning strikes.
Old Norse refers to the language. Norse refers to the people.
In Norse mythology, the god of thunder and lightning is Thor. He is known for wielding his magical hammer Mjölnir and creating thunderstorms when he strikes it against the sky. Thor is a powerful and heroic figure in Norse cosmology.
