So today I figured out
that lightning always occurs before thunder,
because light travels faster than sound.

wow.

And now I know that fireworks work the same way;
the pretty bursts of color in the sky,
followed by heart stopping booms.

mind=blown.

No guys lightning causes thunder, thunder is air rushing to fill the gap that the lighting just created. Fireworks, yes, but lightning and thunder because without lightning first there would be no thunder. The whole light travels faster than sound does play a part in the time gap, but lightning causes thunder (according to my Earth Science teacher at least)

It took you that long to figure that out? What kind of school are you going to?

YES. THAT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE. I WAS WONDERING WHY YOU SAW THE FIREWORKS BEFORE YOU HEARD THEM.
