What Makes Thunder and Lightning? ⚡ Milo's Storm Adventure | Science for Kids | Milo Explores

You have made a tiny lightning spark at home — and you never knew it! Can you guess how? Join Milo in Storm Mode as he discovers what really makes thunder and lightning — and why storms aren't so scary! In this episode kids learn: • Storm clouds are full of tiny bits of ice that bump and rub together • All that bumping builds up electricity • A doorknob ZAP is a tiny spark — lightning is the same thing, but giant! • Lightning heats the air so fast it jumps out of the way: BOOM, that's thunder! • Light is faster than sound, so you see the flash first • Count from flash to boom: bigger number = the storm is farther away • Safety rule: When thunder roars, go indoors! • Wow fact: lightning is hotter than the outside of the sun!
