The explosion and the 'bang' happen at the same exact time !
But the light from the burst has to travel to you before you can see it, and the sound of the burst has to travel to you before you can hear it.
Light travels much faster than sound ... about 874,000 times faster ( ! ) ... so the light always reaches you before the sound does. You always see the burst before you hear it.
The farther you are away from it, the farther the sound will lag behind the light, and the more time there will be between the sight and the sound. From one mile away, the sound reaches you about 5 seconds late.
Rule of thumb for audio is 1 millisecond per foot, it takes about 30 ms delay (30 ft)before most humans can percieve the delay

What is produced in firework explodion?
During a firework explosion, various chemicals combust to create vibrant colors and effects. The combustion produces gases, heat, light, and sound. The bright colors come from metal salts, while the loud bang results from the rapid expansion of gases. Additionally, some fireworks release particles that can contribute to air pollution.
When did fireworks come to America?
Fireworks were first introduced to America in the early 17th century. The first recorded fireworks display in the United States took place in Jamestown, Virginia in 1608.
Would fireworks still look round when watched from the side?
Ever see a firework explosion that WASN'T round? Everytime you see a fireworks explosion, you are seeing it from the side. The "side" you see is not the same side someone 200 yards away would see. Nor is it the same side someone a mile and a half away would see. Think of a lightbulb. When you turn the switch, an "explosion" of light particles is ejected from the filament. The particles of light all come from the center and travel at the same relative speed in every direction. In a fireworks explosion the same thing happens. A small center (the filament) explodes and sends tiny particles of burning matter, all moving at the same relative speed, in all directions making a "ball" of light. Just like a basketball, no matter what side you look at, it's round. There's an exception to this answer==If it is a kind of breezy night--The Fire works don't always fall straight to the ground--They sort of float in one direction==Not staight down!!Al;so did you ever view fire works from up in an airplane==Very different!!
When gas and fire come together what makes the explosion?
An explosion is caused by fuel burning very rapidly. The products of combustion expand rapidly and with extreme force, and the result is what we call an explosion. So...if you put gasoline on a fire and it explodes, as it will, the explosion was caused by the fire.
What colors are in the fireworks?
Fireworks can come in a variety of colors, including red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, and white. These colors are achieved by adding different chemical compounds to the fireworks that produce different colored light when ignited.
How does smoke come out of fireworks?
Smoke comes out of fireworks from the burned powders or chemicals within the fireworks.
How long does a sound take to come back as an echo?
The time it takes for a sound to come back as an echo depends on the distance between the sound source and the reflecting surface. Sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second in air, so you can roughly calculate the time by dividing the total distance the sound travels (to the reflecting surface and back) by the speed of sound.
