Explain why a sound waves can travels faster in a solid than in a gas?

I believe it has something to do with the particles of a solid being closer and more tightly compacted.

Sound travels fastest in what?
sound travels fastest in solid (about 8x faster)
Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
How does sound travels faster in steel?
Sound travels faster in solid materials where molecules line up or are dense. Much like the structure of steel.
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Sound travels fastest in what?

Which medium sound travels faster?
solid
Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?
Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.
Can a sound be faster than a other sound?
yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.

Faster.
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
How fast does sound move in solid?
Sound travels 16 times faster in solids then in air.
How does sound travels in a solid explain?
Sound is a series of vibrations. In a solid they travel in waves from particle to particle, causing the solid to make a noise.
Does sound travel faster throgh solid than air?
It travels faster through a solid then air for some odd reason............
