11、face of the sun.When the high temperature lightening stream hits the surrounding air, sudden rise in temperature takes place.

12、on of compressed air then sends out shock wave, which we hear as a sound of explosion. Thunder can be perceived clearly, if lightning occurs within a distance of 10 miles or more than that. You can estimate the distance from the strike; first count the interval between the flash of lightning and the
