They are the two manifestations of this electrical discharge type of phenomenom happening during a storm, when static electricity escapes a cloud to hit the surface of the earth. Lightning is the very bright and extremely brief flash of light that you see immediately. Thunder is the cracking sound you hear afterwards.
