Lightning FAQ

Quote:
Is it possible to have thunder without lightning?
No, it is not possible to have thunder without lightning. Thunder is a direct result of lightning.
However, it IS possible that you might see lightning and not hear the thunder because it was
too far away. Sometimes this is called “heat lightning” because it occurs most often in the
summer.


Please note the sentence:
"... Thunder is a direct result of lightning. ..."

Therefore: "Lightning AND thunder." Not "Thunder AND lightning".

TY.

Is it possible to have lightning and not thunder?
It says:

"However, it IS possible that you might see lightning and not hear the thunder because it was
too far away."

But how would *I* know? I always had jobs where being right counted, was expected, and not
just shrugged off as a "bad day, oh well"!!!

Therefore: "Lightning AND thunder." Not "Thunder AND lightning".

I hereby decree that it shall be known as Thunder and Lightning.

Both are perfectly acceptable, by definition. Because, it's an AND condition and they are interdependent. The order of appearance in the sentence doesn't determine causality.

So when you have one, you have the other. Thunder and Lightning is equivalent to Lightning and Thunder.

So meh.
