Yeah.....

Because I can

Actually...TM did say 'technically', so technically he is correct. stick out tongue

It's like: what makes the car go faster, you pressing on the accelerator, or the car engine?

Because I can ... lightning is an electrical discharge; thunder is the sound made by that discharge's effect on the air.

Thunder is the sound giving off by the air around the bolt of lightning expanding and contracting rapidly causing sound waves...

I feel like I am repeating myself.

debbiejo
OK...........Lightening makes a noise when it reacts with the air, which then it wouldn't in a vacuum.

Everything makes vibrations, so yes, lightening does make a sound.

When it hits something it does.

neither, if youve taken some real nerdy physics classes like i have its the friction of the tire againts the road that makes the car move ...... they've beaten into my mind!

debbiejo
Still does, because if not the effects of it, there would be none............so, it is the cause..

No, Lightning travels faster than sound.

Did none of you take highschool science???

Is that suppose to be some sort of insult?

It all depends on what you say lightening is. If you include the air that the lightening travels through, then yes it makes a noise.

Lightning makes a sound similar to the sound that occurred when I accidentally left a spoon in my bowl of mac and cheese in the microwave. It didn't look quite right after that.

Lightning heats up the surrounding air so quickly that it creates a sonic boom and that is the sound that we know as thunder. nerd

debbiejo
Another analogy........girl gets off.......did the guy do it?...was he the cause... if he was not seen did it still make a noise......Was he responsible or only the after affect of it.........
