Explanation of Thunder
During a thunderstorm, water droplets in the clouds carry a net negative charge. When the charges build up, lightning strikes between the ground and the cloud, creating an extremely hot arc of light. This arc heats the air, causing it to expand catastrophically, leading to a shock wave. The expanding air is what creates the thunder sound that we hear after seeing the lightning, as it moves at the speed of sound.
