      Definitely light! Light travels at around 300000 km/s, while sound travels (in air, at sea level, and 20 °C) at 0.343 km/s.

      Light is way faster than sound! The speed of light is about 300 million meters per second. Sound however travels at about 300 meters per second. That means light travels about a million times faster than sound!
