Discussion

What is the difference between lighting and thunder

Lightning is a bright flash of light that you can see in the sky during a storm. It looks like a bright bolt or streak of light that shoots across the sky. Lightning happens when there is a buildup of electricity in the atmosphere, and it discharges between the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. The sound that you hear after you see the lightning is called thunder. Thunder is a loud, booming noise that is caused by the lightning. The lightning heats up the air around it very quickly, and this creates a shock wave that travels through the air and creates the sound of thunder.

Vocabulary:

• Lightning: relâmpago

• Thunder: trovão

• Flash of light: clarão de luz

• Storm: tempestade

• Electricity: eletricidade

• Atmosphere: atmosfera

• Discharge: descarga

• Booming noise: ruído estrondoso

• Heat up: aquecer

• Shock wave: onda de choque
