What is some proof to show that light travels faster than sound?
A lightning storm is an excellent example of light travelling faster then sound because of the fact that unless it is directly above you the lightning always streaks first and then you hear the thunder.
The thunder comes before the lightning the lightning comes before the clouds The rain dries everything it touches?
This a riddle. It has been given as "My thunder comes before my lightning. My lightning comes before my rain. My rain dries everything it touches. What am I?"One suggestion is a volcano. It's roar comes before it spews out fiery magma, and possibly lightning occurs in the subsequent clouds above the volcano. Then it rains hot ash, which certainly dries everything it touches.

What does lightning do?
Lightning is a collection of electricity caused by positive and negative charges in clouds. When the groups of charges travel through a cloud, one positive charge may hit a negative charge, thus creating lightning. Lightning can happen from cloud to ground, cloud to cloud, and above clouds. It is usually attracted to metal, water, wood, and other tall objects. When lightning strikes, it heats up the air to about the temperature of the Sun, or more. The air then explodes from all the heat which makes the sound of thunder. So, in other words, it is the cause of thunder.
Can you have lightning without thunder?
Never. Thunder and lightning always come together. But you'd never know it. You always see the lightning before you hear the thunder. That's because light travels super fast, at 186,000 miles (300,000km) a second! Sound is much slower, at only about 1/5 mile (0.3km) a second. So first you see lightning, then you hear the thunder. Thunder is a result of Lightning. When hot air hits cold air it creates friction and that friction creates lightning. There is more to it than that, this is the quick version. Since light is the fastest speed you will hear the sound of thunder much later because sound is slower than light. Popular thinking will tell you that the time between lightning and thunder is the distance you are from the action. 1 second = 1 mile.
Is there lightning above clouds?
Yes, lightning can occur above clouds. A type of lightning called "cloud-to-cloud" or "anvil crawler" lightning can be seen branching out above storm clouds. This is typically caused by the electrical discharge between different regions within the cloud or between different clouds.
What are some of the features that are on the surface of the Sun or above it?
sunspots prominence solar flares solar winds
How do you get Pokemon lightning version?
just here to say...when i was little, i dreamed about a Pokemon Thunder Version. O.o but WTF are you even talking about? Are you talking about version Yellew where you get Pikachu as a starter and it follows you around? if not I agree with the person two lines above
Do you see lightning before you hear thunder?
Yes.Lightning reaches our eyes before thunder reaches our ears because light travels faster than sound.Light travels at the rate of 186,282 miles per second, while sound is much slower, 1,087 feet, or about 1/5 of a mile, per second.You can tell how far away a storm is by counting the seconds between the lightning flash and the clap of thunder, every 5 seconds between the two equals one mile!Lightning causes the thunder, so it actually has to precede the thunder. If you are close to the lightning, they may seem to occur simultaneously. Since light travels faster than sound, the thunder will always lag behind the lightning.Light moves at 299 million metres per second. Sound moves at 340 metres per second (at sea level in air). When lightning occurs, the light and the creation of the sound occur at the same time and place. Thunder is due to the rapid expansion of superheated air which the lightning causes.The flash of light (lightning) arrives first because light waves move at roughly a million times faster than sound waves. By counting the seconds between flash and sound (assuming the storm is not so violent that lightning flashes and thunder claps cannot be paired off), you can determine how close it was to you.In the English system, each 5 seconds difference is about a mile away. In the metric system, every 3 seconds is about a kilometer. Differences in elevation can make this imprecise.If the flash and sound are simultaneous, the source of the lightning is very close, so you might want to go inside immediately and if possible, not touch anything connected to the house's electrical, plumbing, or wired telephone systems. If you are outdoors, stay out from under trees and away from tall objects and metal fences. Keep a low profile, even if it means ducking into a ditch.Remember that electricity seeks the path of least resistance to ground, and the rain that accompanies the lightning enhances that effect, so stay dry and indoors - and avoid conductive systems as described above.
