How fast does light travel than sound?

it is 3.5 billion times fast in a milli-second I don't know where this answer came from or what it means BUT - sound travels at roughly 700 mph in air at sea level; - light travels at 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum; - assuming we compare sound in air (as it can't travel in a vacuum) and light in a vacuum (as it can slow through a medium such as air or water), then light travels at 830,000 times the speed of sound.

How do sound waves travel compared to light waves?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids, and they propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium. They propagate as electromagnetic waves and can travel through empty space.
