Answer:

People feel fireworks before hearing it because light travels faster than sound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We always see the colors of the fireworks before hearing their defeaning sounds. This is because light travels faster than sound, so we can see the light before hearing the sound. An example of this is seeing lightning before hearing thunder. When lightning strikes, the air around it moves very quickly, causing vibrations.

Hope this helps!
