Because light travels faster than sound

It is because of the difference in the speed of sound in air and speed of light in air , the lightining produced in the sky is seen at once , whereas the sound of the thunder is heard a few second later . The light travels at a speed of 300,000km/s and reaches at once , whereas sound travels at a speed of 330 m/s and takes sometime to reach the observer.

The speed of light is more than the sound ,So the lightning is seen earlier than thunder the speed of sound is less than lightning ,So we can hear thunder later than seen light ☺️☺️
