ment of a direction that all further proceedings shall be stayed, (t. e., that the process may stand,) and it is one of the ways by which a suit may be terminated by an act of the party, as distinguished from a termination of it by judgment, which is the act of the court.
The resulting number will tell you how many miles away you are from where lightning just struck. Five seconds, for example, indicates the lightning struck 1 mile away, and a 10-second gap means the lightning was 2 miles away.
Lightning is over 40,000 degrees Fahrenheit. A bolt of lightning heats the air along its path causing it to expand rapidly. Thunder is the sound caused by the rapidly expanding atmosphere. The purpose of this experiment is to watch lightning and hear thunder to give you clues about how far away you are from a storm. One thunderstorm. A stop watch (or the ability to say one-Mississippi) 2. For every 5 seconds the storm is one mile away.
