From the handy _pedia_: Since sound and light travel at different speeds through the atmosphere, one can estimate how far away the bolt of lightning is by timing the interval between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder. The speed of sound in air is approximately 332 m/s (742.6 mph). The speed of light is so fast that it can be ignored in this calculation. Therefore, the lightning is approximately one kilometer distant for every 3 seconds (or one mile for every 5 seconds). So, if there is a one second interval between the lightning and the thunder, the lightning is only about three and a half football fields away (353 yards).
Sorry logic1812 you may say alot but you're wrong! Yes its true, because light travels faster than sound (ms logic) they have found a way to judge the distance from where the clouds collide and when you hear the sound. Where she got kilometers from I have NO IDEA! You do the math in miles. Kilometers are shorter than miles. Whats with the division of 5 and all that. You tried I'll give you that. I'm fifty years old and have been following science all my life! Watch the Weather Channel enough and you learn the ways of nature.
Sound travels at about 1100 feet per second. There are 5280 feet in a mile, so the flash was roughly 1 mile away for every 5 seconds.

Lightning is the static discharge of electricity that builds up between the clouds and earth. The charge actually goes up from the ground to the clouds, even though the lightning appears to travel from the clouds down. (there is a complicated reason). This is why your skin will tingle and your hair will stand just before lightning strikes you. During a good rain storm, the rain drops will carry the static charge to the ground and no lightning will take place. There are occasions when the charge is excessive even with rain and lightning strikes. From flash to bang, count the number of seconds and divide by 5. So if 5 seconds go by between lightning and thunder, it is one mile away. Lightning rods work in the way that they continuously allow the static to trickle to ground and no charge builds up.
