A lightning bolt generates great heat, which causes the air around it to expand forcefully for just a second. Then the hot air bubble collapses back to atmospheric pressure. None of this happens at the speed of sound. But the collapse produces a thunder clap just as clapping your hands or slamming a door creates a bang. The sound, being a sound, travels at the speed of sound, but it is in no way related to a sonic boom. Two very different things.<br><b>References : </b><br> Everybody above is wrong.

It occurs in one spot. The light that you see from it travels at the speed of light, of course. The sonic boom is the result of air expanding faster than the speed of sound when the lightning occurs, due to the immense heat from the lightning.<br><b>References : </b><br> Lightning doesn’t travel anywhere, essentially.
