Explanation:
If we are watching the sky, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder. That is because light travels much faster than sound waves. ... It takes approximately 5 seconds for the sound to travel 1 mile. If the thunder follows the lightning almost instantly, you know the lightning is too close for comfort!
