When lightning hits, it makes a really loud boom called thunder. Think of it like when you drop a heavy rock into a pond, the water ripples and makes a big splash. Lightning does something similar in the air, making sound waves that travel to us as thunder.
Examples
- Thunder sounds like a giant cat meowing when it's close to you.
- It’s like when you shout across a big room, the sound takes time to reach the other person.
