    Because of the speed of the sound.

    Explanation:

    The first thing that happens in such cases is to take into account the speed of the sound. First, we see that the player hits the ball with the bat, if we are in the stands far enough we will hear the sound of the batting time later, this time depends on the speed of the sound which is equal to 345 [m/s].

    Another visible and practical example is a fireworks display, where people nearby immediately hear the explosion. while those at a great distance will be able to see first the explosion followed by the sound.

    With the following equation, we can calculate how long it takes to hear a hit or explosion

    t = x / v

    where:

    x = distance [m]

    v = sound velocity = 345 [m/s]

    t = time [s]
