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 long does it take for sound to travel around the world?

Sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second) in air at room temperature. The Earth's circumference is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). Therefore, it would take sound roughly 1.2 hours to travel around the world if conditions were ideal and there were a continuous medium for sound to propagate. However, in reality, sound cannot travel through the vast distances of the atmosphere without significant attenuation.


How long would it take at the speed of sound to travel 1 light year?

It would take approximately 1 year to travel 1 light year at the speed of sound, which is around 767 mph (1,234 km/h). However, it is important to note that the speed of sound is much slower than the speed of light, which travels about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 km/s).


How long would it take for sound to travel to the sun from earth?

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.


How long would it take to travel to the nearest star at 20000 miles per hour?

Incredible as it might sound, even traveling at 20,000 miles per hour the trip to Proxima Centauri (V645 Centauri) would take 142,241 years!
