Thunder is the concussion sound wave resulting from the sudden and explosive expansion of air around a lightning bolt. A typical bolt of lightning is over 18,000 degrees F, and when it strikes, it heats the air immediately around the bolt. This heated air expands explosively, and that produces the sound wave we call thunder.

I was always under the impression that thunder is the sound that lightning makes. It's pretty much that lightning is so hot that it ends up boiling the air in the atmosphere, or something like that.

From my understanding,it's two from different fronts that are different in temps that the moving air almost causes a "vacuum" and the air changing places is what you hear.Or Rosie O'Donnel stopped at Taco Bell near you.
