Light travels much faster than sound. Light goes 186,000 miles per second. Sound travels at about 720 miles an hour. The light reaches your eye long before the sound gets there.
For the same reason you see lightning before you hear thunder, Light travels faster than sound.
There are two reasons why we can see a plane in the air before we hear it. The first reason is the fact that light moves faster than sound. Everything we see is the result of light reflecting off of an object and into our eyes, producing an image. Second, the plane might be too far. So, with that in mind, we might not even be able to hear the plane in the first place.
If you see lightning but don't hear thunder, it means the lightning is far away. The speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so you usually see lightning before you hear the associated thunder.
Even though the lightning and thunder occur at roughly the same time, you would see a distant strike before you would hear it, because the light travels to you about 882 thousand times as fast as the sound does.
You see lighting and hear thunder.
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. This means that light waves, carrying visual information, will reach your eyes before sound waves reach your ears. This is why you see the fighter plane first before hearing it.
Yes - but it will be travelling fast ! You will hear the sound of the engines a few seconds after the plane passes overhead.

they hear them before they see them.
You see lightning before you hear it because light moves faster than sound. Thunder comes from the lightning. You can't hear it until the sound waves reach you.
Can hear and saw are the verbs, but "saw" should be "see".
he had radar back there so he can see the planes before they can see them
You know when your best friend has given up on you when you don't see or hear from them as often as you used to. They seem distant and are cooler with you than before.
