∙ 9y agoMercury has no atmosphere to speak of. Sound must have particles to bounce off of in order to travel. Since the surface of Mercury is basically a vacuum, sound would not be able to travel at all.

∙ 15y agoSound needs a medium to travel and since there is a vaccum in space as well as other planets including mercury, sound cannot travel. Thus there is no speed of sound in question!

How does the lack of atmosphere affect the temperatures on mercury?
Mercury has the thinnest atmosphere so the fast winds from blown up stars go to the thin atmosphere, it will be easier to get in and change the atmosphere
Can sound travel through oxygen?
Sound can travel through fire as it does not directly affect sound. Sound travels in waves which can pass through solid objects but this limits the distance they can go.
How fast is the speed of sound and is it possible foran object to go faster then the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies a lot, depending on the material through which it passes, and (to a minor degree) the temperature. In air, the speed of sound is about 330 meters/second, but in solids, the speed of sound can be several times larger than that. And yes, it is possible for an object to go faster than the speed of sound. Certain jet plains do that regularly.
Why the volume of helium is greater than lithium or other elements?
Helium is not very dense especially because it is a gas, hence when you inhale helium it makes your voice high pitched because the low density the sound waves are travelling through lets the sound waves go faster, it is like fast forwarding a video or a sound the pitch get higher and higher the faster you go.
What happens if Mercury hits earth?
Will it can possibly happen if something happens to the orbit Mercury will go through earth and the atmosphere will break and we all die
How fast through the speed of sound can a blackbird go?
A blackbird doesn't go "through the speed of sound", it moves through the air.
How does the speed of sound compare with its speed through liquids and solids?
When sound waves go through liquids, they travel five times as faster than they do on land. When sound waves go through solids though, they don't go as fast.

Which material does sound go through the quickest?
There is no material sound can go through the quickest. Sound always have the same speed.
How fast do you have to go to make a sonic boom?
Whatever material you're moving through, you have to move faster than the speed of sound in that material.
What is sound for fast cars?
One of the reasons why cars go fast is what size of an engine they have.
How fast does the speed of sound go from mars to earth?
No way! There is vacuum where no sound can travel.
What is a sound medium?
it allows sound to go through it
