Why you see a distant event before you hear it?

Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.

Such a speed is technically called the speed of light, but it could also be defined as ~Mach 1000000.
