Thunder is the sound we hear after seeing lightning. When lightning hits, it heats up the air around it really fast, so fast that the air expands like a balloon popping. This makes a big boom, which is thunder. The farther away you are from the lightning, the longer it takes for the sound to reach your ears.
Examples
- Sometimes it sounds like the sky is shouting, and sometimes it just whispers.
