Lighting is an incredibly hot stream of electrons, which jump through the sky. As the electrons travel and pass through air, they superheat the air molecules around them. This heating causes the air to expand very quickly, and this expansion is heard as thunder.

I was once in Florida during a thunderstorm with the most lightning I’ve ever seen. I was unhitching a uhaul trailer from my truck and lightning struck close enough several times that the trailer shocked me several times. It didn’t feel good

The lightning bolt is “plasma” – basically, the air has been heated to a point where it’s a phase of matter even beyond gas. The quick appearance and disappearance of that plasma, along with the immense amount of heat it generates, causes the air around the plasma to rapidly heat and expand and then contract again, causing the sound of thunder.
