Roughly 1 mile away. Sound travels at about 1 mile every 5 seconds, so the time difference between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder can give you an estimate of the distance to the lightning strike.
This delay of 5 seconds corresponds to approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) of distance from the lightning. Thunder travels about 1 mile in 5 seconds through air.
To find the miles to the lightning, you can count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder (time interval). Divide this number by 5 to get the distance in miles, as sound travels at about 1 mile every 5 seconds.
You can determine how far away lightning is by counting the seconds between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, and then dividing by 5 to get the distance in miles or by 3 to get the distance in kilometers. Sound travels at a speed of about 1 kilometer per 3 seconds or 1 mile per 5 seconds.
On average, there are about 8 million lightning strikes per day worldwide. This equates to around 100 flashes per second. Lightning is most common in regions with warm, moist air and frequent thunderstorms.
