<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><span style="font-size:13px">ArabiaWeather.com-</span> We are often exposed to rainstorms, which are accompanied by <a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/ما-حقيقة-مقولة-السيّارة-تحمي-من-الصواعق-و-البروق-؟">lightning</a> and thunder. The observer of these storms undoubtedly notices the time difference between seeing the lightning and hearing the sound of thunder, and the time interval varies between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder according to the distance of the lightning from the area of your presence.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> To calculate the distance of lightning from you, here is this simple mathematical equation </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/Lightning%281%29.jpg" style="font-size:13.3333339691162px; height:424px; line-height:20.7999992370605px; opacity:0.9; width:600px" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The time difference between the brightness of the lightning and the sound of thunder is calculated (in seconds), then the result is divided by the fixed number 3, and the result is the distance from the thunderstorm, rounded to the sharpness of the kilometer (every kilometer = 1000 meters).</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>See more:</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong><a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/بالفيديو-شاهد-البرق-يخرج-من-الجبل-على-هيئة-بركان">Video: Watch the lightning coming out of the mountain in the form of a volcano</a></strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong><a href="http://www.arabiaweather.com/content/قصّة-الرجُل-الذي-ضربه-البرق-7-مرّات-في-حياته-و-بقي-على-قيد-الحياة">The story of the man who was struck by lightning 7 times in his life and survived</a></strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
