Here is your answer
We know that the speed of light in air is about 3×10^8 m/s and the speed of sound in the air is about 334 m/s.
So, whenever there is thunderstorm then we see a flash of lightning earlier than the sound of thunder; as lightning being a light energy and thunder being a sound energy.
