Answer 1

You see lightning before you hear thunder because light travels faster than sound. When a lightning bolt strikes, the light reaches your eyes almost instantly, while the sound takes longer to travel through the air to reach your ears. This creates a delay between seeing the flash of lightning and hearing the rumble of thunder.
