Why you see a distant event before you hear it?

Because the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, when the light from that event reaches your eyes, you see it. Then later, the sound from the event reaches your ears, and you hear it. Basically it's just because light travels faster than sound.


If light travels about one million times faster than sound its travels at what?

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