While on Burch, you see a lightning bolt flash across the sky, and then hear the thunder a few seconds later. The next day, you hike over to the spot the lightning struck and find that it was 3000 m away from where you were when you saw it.

If the speed of light is 3 \times 10^8 m/s, calculate how much time passes between the lightning bolt hitting the ground and the light from the bolt traveling to your eyes.
