Thunder and lightning are caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air around a lightning bolt. This creates a shockwave that we hear as thunder. Lightning is exciting to kids because it is powerful and unpredictable, sparking curiosity and wonder.

What causes claps of thunder?

Lightning is very hot, about 27760 degrees Celsius. When the lightning heats the air around it , the air instantly expands, resounding with a shock wave.The clap is an indication of how close you are to the lightning strike, a sharp bang means you are very close ( the sound will come almost immediately after the strike or at the same time), if you are farther away it will sound like a rumble as the sound waves bounce off the geographical features on its way to you ( the thunder will come several seconds later than the lightning strike )As kids we used to count the seconds that it took for the thunder to resound after a lightning strike to tell how far away it was, one second for one mile

What causes lightning and how can we explain it to kids in a simple and fun way?

Lightning is caused by the buildup of electrical charges in the clouds. When these charges become too strong, they are released as a bolt of lightning. To explain this to kids, you can say that it's like when you rub a balloon on your hair and then it sticks to the wall because of the static electricity. Lightning is like a big spark in the sky when the clouds get too charged up. It's nature's way of balancing out the electrical energy in the atmosphere.
