Thunder causes lightning to happen by creating friction in the clouds that results in static charges.

Lightning creates a column of air, which vibrates to create rumbles of thunder.

Lightning can always be seen in the sky before thunder can be heard.

The time between lightning and thunder determines the lightning's distance away.

Lightning causes thunder to happen when its electric energy expands and then contracts.
