Verified answer
Sound can not travel in the vacuum of space, but if it could, and assuming the same speed as in normal air, then it would take about 19 years for sound to travel 93 million miles at 768 miles per hour.

∙ 12y agoThe distance from the earth and the sun is 149,597,900 km. The speed of sound is 0.34029 km per second. Using these measurements, the time it would take going from the earth to the sun at the speed of sound is 439618855 seconds, or
122,116.349 hours
(That's 13.9 years)

∙ 12y agoThe speed of sound varies depending on the media - whether it travels through air, water or steel, for example. The variations are considerable. Sound won't travel at all through a vacuum, and the space between the planets and the Sun is basically a vacuum. However, if you want to make a purely hypothetical exercise, you can assume some speed of sound - for example, the speed of sound in air, which is about 330 m/s (depending on the temperature and pressure, even that varies), and divide the distance by the speed.

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 wouldn't travel at all. Sound can't travel in a vacum. (Translation: Sound can't travel in outer space.)
