Explanation:

• Calculate how many seconds when you saw the flash of lightning, until you hear thunder

• then divide the value by 3 to know the distance in Kilometers or divide by 5 to know the distances in Miles

Example:

You see flashes of lightning, 12 seconds later, his voice booming.

So the distance of lightning by yourself is 12 / 3 = 4 km (approximately ±)

• When the flash light, at that time we also see it immediately, because the speed of light is very high, 299,792,458 meters per second. There's almost no delay to reach our eyes.

• But, the speed of sound "only" 331 meters per second. As a result, some time after the lightning lit, the new voice boomed.

• Therefore, the distance of lightning with thunder listeners about a mile every three seconds. Thunder is rarely heard at a distance of more than 25 kilometers.
