From the stands of a race track why do you notice smoke from the starter's gun before you hear it fire?
Light travels faster than the sound. Light from the sun reflects off the smoke to your eyes at a rate of 300 000 000 m/s, while the sound from the gun (happening at the exact same time as the reflection of light off the smoke) travels at only 340 m/s. Therefore, the light will reach your eyes before the sound reaches your ears.
