Which one occur first btw lightning and thunder?
Lightning then thunder. Essentially they're both the same thing at the same time, but light travels faster than sound. You'll see the flash of light before you hear the noise. Using this in between time you can actually calculate how far away from your current location the strike happened. You can see this phenomenon in baseball aswell, you'll see the batter hit the ball before you'll hear the noise of the impact.
Why does a baseball bat crack?
The speed of sound is about 350 m/s (about 400 yards/second). If you are 400 yards away from the batter, then it could take about 1 second for the sound to reach you in the more distant stands. Light takes less than one millionth of a second to travel the same distance. On TV, it depends on how far away the microphone is from the batter as to how noticeable the delay is. They usually have their microphones fairly close to the field and batter so you don't notice the delay as much on TV. Source: wikipedia
