By way of some "round" math, (rounding quotients to the nearest whole numbers), I have
extrapolated 5 seconds as a decent "Rule of thumb".
Thunder will go *approximately* 1 mile every 5 seconds, at average.
Humidity, elevation, etc. affect air density, which affects the speed of sound, but negligibly for this answer.
So, see the flash, count 5, 1 mile (approximately).
Sound travels at approximately 1,125 feet per second in air. This means that it would take roughly 4.7 seconds for the sound of thunder to travel one mile.
A quick rule of thumb is 5 seconds. Since sound travels at a little over 1000 feet per second which is about a fifth of a mile. A better estimate is 1125 feet per second. 5280 / 1125 = 4.693 seconds
How long does it take water to freeze on 15 mile winds at 30 degree f
Well the earth cannot travel around the world being as they are the same thing. However, if you meant how long does it take the earth to travel around the sun then the answer would be about 365.25 days.
It takes light about 100,000 years to travel from one side of the Milky Way galaxy to the other due to its vast size and distance.
P-waves travel at speeds between 5 to 8 km/s, as such a P-wave may take between 812 and 1300 seconds (13 and 22 minutes respectively) to travel 6500 km. Please see the related question on P-wave velocity.
18 seconds to travel a mile at 200 mph.
55.4 seconds per mile at 65mph
Thunderstorms can travel at different speeds, but on average, a thunderstorm can travel at about 25 miles per hour. So, it would take roughly 2-3 minutes for a thunderstorm to travel one mile.
It depends on the speed at which you travel.
It depends on it's speed.
That depends on its speed.
20 seconds.
it would take 1 hour to travel a mile going at 60 mph
There is no sound in space.
36 seconds.
Twenty minutes.
28.8 seconds.
