As lightning flashes in the sky, it causes thunder. Light from the flash travels almost instantly to your eyes, but the sound of the thunder arrives a few seconds later. If you count the seconds between the flash and the thunder, you can estimate the distance of the flash of lightning: every five seconds equals 1 mile (1.6 kilometers).
