4. Lightning detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_detector

   Single sensor lightning detectors have been used on aircraft and while the lightning direction can be determined from a crossed loop sensor, the distance can not be determined reliably because the signal amplitude varies between the individual strokes described above, [11]: 115 and these systems use amplitude to estimate distance. Because the ...

7. Thunder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder

   Thunder is the sound caused by and after lightning. [1] [2] [3] Depending upon the distance from and nature of the lightning, it can range from a long, low rumble to a sudden, loud crack. The sudden increase in temperature and hence pressure caused by the lightning produces rapid expansion of the air in the path of a lightning bolt. [4]

8. Lightning injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_injury

   Lightning injuries are divided into direct strikes, side splash, contact injury, and ground current. [1] Ground current occurs when the lightning strikes nearby and travels to the person through the ground. [1] Side splash makes up about a third of cases and occurs when lightning strikes nearby and jumps through the air to the person. [1]

9. Heat lightning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_lightning

   The actual phenomenon that is sometimes called heat lightning is simply cloud-to-ground lightning that occurs very far away, with thunder that dissipates before it reaches the observer. [2] At night, it is possible to see the flashes of lightning from very far distances, up to 100 miles (160 km), but the sound does not carry that far. [3]
