## Sound Distance

By measuring the time between seeing an event and hearing it, you can estimate the distance.

### Formula

**d = v_sound * t**

where v_sound = 331.3 + 0.606 * T (m/s). A classic application: counting seconds between a lightning flash and thunder to estimate storm distance.

Lösungsbeispiel

Thunder arrives 3 seconds after lightning at 20 degrees C.

  1. v = 331.3 + 0.606 * 20 = 343.4 m/s
  2. d = 343.4 * 3
  3. d = 1030.3 m
  4. d = 1.030 km (about 1 km)
