Sound of thunder is heard a little later than the flash of light because the speed of sound is less than the speed of light.
Speed of sound in air at(20°c)=343m/s
Speed of light=299,792,458 m/s
Speed of sound in air at(20°c)=343m/s
Speed of light=299,792,458 m/s

The speed of sound (344 m/s) is less than the speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s).
Sound of thunder takes more time to reach the Earth as compared to light.
Hence, a flash is seen before we hear a thunder.
