About it

A thunderstorm cloud can tower more than 10 kilometers into the sky. Inside it, bits of ice and water crash together and build up electric charge, until a giant spark, lightning, jumps across. Lightning heats the air around it to about 30,000 degrees Celsius, hotter than the surface of the Sun, and the air bursts outward with the boom we call thunder.

This cloud rains and flashes with lightning by itself. Tap it for a big strike and a clap of thunder: the bolt comes straight down from the cloud where you tapped. Light travels much faster than sound, so count the seconds between flash and thunder: every 3 seconds is about 1 kilometer away.
