Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity, often seen during a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. So, without thunder, lightning would still be the sudden and bright flash of electricity in the sky.
Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. There are typically no direct costs associated with thunder, as it is a natural phenomenon. However, lightning strikes caused by thunderstorms can result in damages to property, infrastructure, and potentially lead to injuries or fatalities.
Thunder is not electricity itself, but rather the sound that results from the rapid expansion and contraction of air heated by a lightning bolt. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, which can produce the sound we hear as thunder.
Yes, lightning and thunder can occur during typhoons. Typhoons are intense tropical storms that can produce severe weather conditions including heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning strikes. Thunder is produced by lightning and can be heard during a typhoon.
