If I enter an event in the Calendar on one PC will it autmatically be entered/Synchronized in the Thunderbird Calander on a second/different PC
I'm entering in one and the event is not showing up in the Thunderbird Calendar on a second PC.
Chosen solution
How is one computer supposed to know what you have done on the other?
It works with IMAP-connected email because both email clients are showing the same common shared set of email messages and folders, which are held on a mail server. Wherever you change it from, by sending or filing a message, the changes are visible to all connected devices.
For the calendar to do the same, there must be a communications channel. I don't know how you imagine one computer could arbitrarily recognize another of your computers and exchange data with it.
You need to set up a common, shared calendar that each of your computers can connect to. The cheapest and easiest solution to to set up a Google Calendar and have each of your Thunderbird/Lightning installations sync with it. Note that since Google Calendar is supported by multiple devices, you can have calendar sync with computers using a variety of OSes and also tablets and phones. Even Blackberry support the Google Calendar. Using this, I sync the calendars on a Windows laptop, several Linux computers, an Android tablet and an Android smartphone, and before I stopped using it, a Blackberry phone.
Or start porting your multi-gigbayte profile between your computers. Ugh.

How are the two synchronized? Do they link to a web-based calendar such as Google Calendar?

No I "assumed" the logical process wood be if the entry is put in the software(Calendar) then the entry should be there regardless of what PC the software is installed on ( given compatible OS's)
