    Why do you see lightning before you hear the thunder? - ProProfs

    Why do you see lightning before you hear the thunder?

    • Light travels slower than air

    • Light travels faster than sound

    • Sound travels faster than light

    • Sound travels faster than air

    Correct Answer
    A. Light travels faster than sound
    Explanation
    Light travels faster than sound, which is why you see lightning before you hear the thunder. When lightning occurs, light waves travel at a speed of approximately 300,000 kilometers per second, while sound waves only travel at approximately 340 meters per second. This significant difference in speed causes the light from the lightning to reach your eyes much faster than the sound waves reach your ears, resulting in the visual perception of lightning before the auditory perception of thunder.
