Basically, sound doesn't travel in space, i.e., in a vacuum.

Speed = distance/time

If you make a sound over here in space, it would take an infinite time to arrive

over there, since sound doesn't travel at all in space. The formula becomes

Speed = distance/∞

and that's zero .

Is the speed of sound the same in air as it is in outer space?

There is no sound in space. Sound is a wave of energy passing through matter that we can hear, and in space, there is no matter for the sound to pass through, or at least the gasses that are there aren't close enough together.


What is the speed of sound in space and how does it differ from the speed of sound in other mediums?

The speed of sound in space is zero because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. In other mediums, such as air or water, the speed of sound varies depending on factors like temperature and density.


How fast would the speed of sound be if you could hear sound in space?

Well, we know that in any material medium, the speed of sound increases along with the density of the medium. The more dense the medium, the higher the speed of sound, and the less dense the medium, the lower the speed of sound. All of this points in the direction that as the density of the medium tends toward zero, the speed of sound in it also tends toward zero. So I guess in space, where the density of material stuff is next to zero, we would expect that the speed of sound would also be next to zero. But consider this: We know that you can't hear sound in space. Since you have already made up a pretend condition for your question, saying that you can hear sound in space, why don't you go ahead and make up a speed too; whatever pleases you.

What is the difference in the speed of sound at 0 degrees C and the speed of sound at 25 degrees C?

At 0 degrees C, the speed of sound is about 331 m/s, while at 25 degrees C, the speed of sound is around 344 m/s. The speed of sound increases with temperature because sound waves travel faster in warmer air due to increased molecular motion.


What does the speed of sound travel?

Which is faster the speed of sound in air or the speed of light in air?

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
