Answer:
Lightning can be seen before thunder is heard as light travels faster than sound. ... The noise of thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of heating the air. You can normally hear thunder up to 6 miles (10km) away from the lightning flash. The sound can last quite a few seconds!

THIS IS WHY BECAUSE THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS FASTER THAN SOUND.
THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS 299792 km. SEC.
AND THE SPEED OF SOUND IS 3.42 km. SEC
WHICH IS SLOWER THAN LIGHT.
