This is a practical question anyone can relate to, the question:
During a thunderstorm, lightning and thunder occurred simultaneously in the atmosphere. An observer on the earth surface's sees the lightning flash shortly before hearing the thunder. This is because the lightning flash (what you see) appeared before hearing the thunder (what you hear)
So, sight (light/lightning) comes before sound. This means that the speed of sound is less than that of light
