Cumulonimbus
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
Lightning and thunder comes from the cumulonimbus cloud and hits the earth.
No. Lightning is caused by electrical charges travelling from clouds to the earth, earth to clouds or cloud to cloud. Thunder is caused by lightning.
Thunder is not dangerous; it is merely sound. It is lightning that is dangerous. The most dangerous type is cloud-to-ground lightning.
Cumulonimbus.
No, lightning is a build up of static electricity. The lightning flash is a very short natural electrical discharge between the thunder clouds and the ground, or from cloud to cloud. The route taken by the lightning creates a vacuum, and the roll of thunder sound is the surrounding air crashing back to refill the vacuum.
cumulonimbus cloud
Lightning is an electric discharge from the cloud to ground (although you can have other types, such as cloud to cloud). When the lightning strikes it heats up the surrounding air so fast that it causes an explosion, which is heard as thunder.

A thunder lightning outcome refers to the simultaneous occurrence of thunder and lightning during a thunderstorm. The thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of heated air surrounding a lightning bolt, while the lightning is the visible discharge of electricity between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. A thunder lightning outcome is a common occurrence during thunderstorms.
cuz all the explosions go boom
Thunder because of the sound it makes.
