Nothing lightning without thunder. When
shortend happens, and lightning occurs, Heat lightningschannel
to very high heat, up to 30.000 °C - 5 times
as hot as the sun's surface. This warming is
very quickly, and the air around lightningschannel expands
explosive. There are a shockwave, and it is these
sound waves we hear as thunder. When thunder rumble,
it is because we are not just close to all parts of soundchannel,
thus creating a time lag between when the individual
shockwaves reaches us. The old rule of thumb is
good enough: There is an approximately. 3 second per km, we see from lightning,
for we hear thunder. |
