Explanation
The phenomenon you are referring to is known as "rolling thunder." Rolling thunder occurs during a thunderstorm when the sound of thunder is heard for an extended period, often as a continuous or rumbling noise, rather than a single sharp clap. This occurs because lightning can strike in different locations within a storm cloud, and the sound waves generated by these lightning strikes can reach your ears at different times, resulting in the prolonged and rolling nature of the thunder. The time delay between the lightning flash and when you hear the associated thunder is due to the difference in the speed of light (which is almost instantaneous) and the speed of sound (which is much slower).
