How far away is lightning if thunder sounds 10 seconds after the lightning flashes?


Step 1 : Introduction to the question "How far away is lightning if thunder sounds 10 seconds after the lightning flashes? "



Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. 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, peal of thunder, or boom.
