What else can I help you with?

Which travels faster lightning or thunder?
Lightning travels faster than thunder. Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity that moves at the speed of light, which is about 186,000 miles per second. Thunder, on the other hand, is the sound created by the rapid expansion of air after lightning heats it up, traveling at the speed of sound, which is approximately 1,125 feet per second.
What is faster the speed of lightning or the speed of sound?
Lightning travels approximately at 60,000 miles a second (96,560 kps), while sound travels at a pokey one-fifth of a mile per second (20 kps). I think you might have actually been referring to light, not lightning, which travels at 186,411 miles per second (300,000 kps). In other words, light travels almost a million times faster than sound.

Why do we hear thunder some seconds after seeing the lightning?
In simple terms... light travels much faster than sound. We see the lightning flash first, followed by the sound when it finally reaches us
