The speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so we can assume that the time gap between seeing the light and hearing the thunder is due to the difference in the speed of light and sound.
The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, while the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second.
Given that the time gap is 8 seconds, we can calculate the distance to the storm using the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = (343 m/s) x (8 s)
Distance = 2744 meters
Therefore, the storm is approximately 2.7 kilometers away.
