How long does it take sound to travel around the earth?

Sound travels at a speed of approximately 343 meters per second in air. The circumference of the Earth is about 40,075 km, so it would take around 2 hours and 45 minutes for sound to travel around the Earth once.


How fast do you have to fly to break the sound barrier?

To break the sound barrier in the Earth's atmosphere, an object must travel at a speed of around 767 mph (1,235 km/h) at sea level. This speed is known as the speed of sound, or Mach 1.


What rate of speed is necessary to break the sound barrier in mph?

The speed of sound is approximately 767 mph at sea level. To break the sound barrier, an object would need to travel faster than this speed, so it would have to be moving faster than 767 mph.

How fast does sound travel through matter?

Sound travels at a speed that is dependent on density. As a rule the more dense the material the faster sound travels. In air, mach 1 (the speed of sound) is about 750 MPH. In water it is about 3316 MPH. (Water is much denser than air.)
