Does light or sound travel faster in air?
Light travels almost a million times faster in air. There is very little difference between the speed of light in a vacuum as in air. It is around 0.01% slower in air. Because of the difference between the speed of light and sound you can estimate the distance of a lightning strike. For every 3 seconds between the flash and the sound of thunder the lightning strike is 1 km away or 5 seconds for a mile. The actual speeds are light 300,000 km per second speed of sound 0.33 km per second.
