The conclusion that can be drawn based on the fact that thunder is not heard until after lightning is seen during a thunderstorm is that light travels faster than sound. Lightning is seen almost instantaneously because light travels at a much faster speed than sound waves. The sound waves from the thunder take longer to reach our ears.
