Why atr there thunder and lighting?
HOW? Thunder is the sound that lightning makes. Sounds simple but why does lightning make a sound. Any sound you hear is made up of vibrations, the vibrations travel through the air as waves until they reach your ear. Lightning is a huge discharge of electricity. When lightning strikes huge amounts of electricity shoots through the air, this causes two things to happen. 1. The electricity hits the air and starts it vibrating, anything vibrating causes a sound. 2.The lightning is also very hot and heats up the air around it. Hot air gets bigger: it expands. As lightning is very hot the air gets bigger very quickly and pushes against the air particles starting another vibration. WHY? Well if your an athiest I don’t know the reason why, but I’m a believer so I think God would be the answer to this question.
