True or False
You see lightning before you hear thunder because sound travels faster than light.
No, it's the other way around! Light travels incredibly much faster than sound. That's why you see the lightning almost instantly when it strikes, but the sound of the thunder takes a bit longer to reach your ears. The longer it takes between the lightning and the thunder, the farther away the thunderstorm is!
