light travels at 3 x 10^8 m/s
sound travels at 330 mph
so it takes lot of time for sound to reach us, than light..even though both are produced at the same time...

yes it's to do with the diff in the spped of light and sound but your q is very unclear but if you mean what causes the noise and lightthe flash is from an electrican discharge, like a really big spark and thunder is from air rushing back into the vacuum from the air that has been destroyed by the lightening

Lightning and noise do not come along is because of the electron atoms clashing into other particles causing the lightning, then a sound is heard because these storms takes place high in the atmosphere. But take their advice because light travels fast.

the velocity of light is more than sound so we see the lightening before we hear sound

I'm not sure what the question is... but light travels at 186,000 miles per second and sound travels 1060 feet per second.

Lightning travels at a much much faster speed than does thunder.

because of difference in speed of light and sound.sped of light is higher so we can see lightining first and noise second
