If you hear the thunder sound 5 seconds after the lightning, how far away from you did it occur? (Consider Speed of sound as 330m/s) |

Answer» After you see a flash of lightning, count the NUMBER of seconds until you hear the THUNDER. (Use the stop watch or count "One-Mississippi, Two-Mississippi, Three-Mississippi," etc.) For every 5 seconds the STORM is one MILE away. |
