The speed of sound depends a lot on the medium, and you can't talk about the speed of sound in a vacuum. In any case, the speed of light is roughtly a million times as fast as the speed of sound.
Light creates its own 'medium' in the fashion of jumping from one completed wavelength to the next in quantum fashion. This involves the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of so called free space as derived by Maxwell. The wavelength divided by the time to create the wavelength is a constant, thus the constant speed of light regardless of frequency. Space is not a continuum as a result of quantum action. Jerry E. Bayles (Quantum Mechanic)
-- In vacuum, the speed of sound is zero, so you can't compare them there.-- In air at sea level, the speed of light is about 874 thousand times the speed of sound.
No, not even close. Light travels at 300,000,000 meters/sec but sound only at 340 meters/sec
Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger. However, sound has very different speeds, depending on the medium in which it travels.Assuming you mean the speed of sound in air, the speed of light (in a vacuum) is about 800,000 times larger.

no, light is faster
* The speed of light in a vacuum, * The speed of sound,
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
The speed of light is about 900,000 times as fast as the speed of sound in air.
speed of light
The speed of light is more than 850 thousand times the speed of sound.
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.

Speed of light in air ~ speed of light in vavuum = 3,00 *10^8 m/s speed of sound in air ~ 330 m/s. Speed of light is faster than sound in air
Light; The speed of light is 300,000 km/s yet the speed of sound is just 343 m / s
The speed of lightning is somewhere between that of light and sound which is why most scientists would agree that the speed of light and the speed of sound make a good comparison to that of lightning and electricity.
No. Light travels at about 875 thousand times the speed of sound.
No. Light travels much faster than sound.
