Lightning is the flash of light that occurs when electricity moves between clouds or between a cloud and the ground.

A lightning bolt that flashes in the sky can reach a temperature of 60,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That is about five times hotter than the sun! The heat from lightning causes the surrounding air to expand, resulting in the loud sound known as thunder.

What evidence can you find that explains how thunder is created?

• Thunder is created from the rain.

• Heat from the lightning creates thunder.

• Running a comb through your hair creates thunder.

• None of these are correct.
