Please help me

Have you ever sat high in the stadium at a baseball game and heard the sound of a ball being hit by a bat? Did you notice that you heard the sound after you saw the ball being hit?
Explain why you think this happened.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answer is correct: the act of hitting a ball with a bat creates a sound. You see the act of hitting almost immediately because light travels very fast. The sound on the other hand travels much slower. So if you sit high in the stadium, the sound has to travel for a long distance before reaching you. That is why you hear the sound after you see the ball being hit.
