particles in the air slow it down and cause it to stop eventually
when the temperature of the air is 25 degrees Celsius, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approx.
Light is an example of an electromagnetic (EM) wave. EM waves are transverse waves, not compressional waves. Sound waves are compressional waves, so both sound traveling through air and water would be compressional. Waves traveling along a coiled spring compress the coils together and spread them apart, so this is also an example of a compressional wave.
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.

Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
It slows down an becomes distorted.
A sonic boom occurs by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.

Nothing does. The speed of the sound wave depends only on the medium through which it's traveling. As long as it remains in the same stuff, its speed is constant, no matter how far it has come from its source.

Sound energy causes the particles in the medium it is traveling through to vibrate. The medium is a solid, liquid or gas.
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.
Because you've never listened? I have, and I find it quite easy to hear sound travelling through water.
