Thunder
Thunder is the sound caused by
lightning. Depending on the distance and nature of the lightning, thunder can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, low rumble (brontide). The sudden increase in
pressure and
temperature from lightning produces rapid
expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave, similar to a
sonic boom, which produces the sound of thunder, often referred to as a
clap,
crack, or
peal of thunder.
