Amazing Light, Part Two Have you ever sat high up# in a baseball game? Have you ever noticed# how you see the guy hit the ball? Then a split second later,# you hear the chunk of the ball on the bat. That is all because# light travels faster than sound. You see faster than you hear. It is the same with a storm. You have seen lightening, right? You have heard thunder too. They both happen at the exact same time. But which do you notice first? The lightening! Why? You got it! Because light travels faster than sound! You see the lightening,# then you hear the thunder. Amazing!
