It varies with air temperature, pressure, humidity, and density, and it's completely

different in other substances other than air.

For normal conditions in comfortable air near sea-level, I use the figure of 343 meters/second.

How fast does the speed of sound go from mars to earth?

The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it is traveling through. In Earth's atmosphere, the speed of sound is about 343 meters per second. On Mars, where the atmosphere is much thinner, the speed of sound would be slower than on Earth. Therefore, the speed of sound from Mars to Earth would be slower than 343 meters per second.


Why is light measured in distance and not in time?

-- The distance that light travels in some amount of time is expressed in units of distance. -- The time that it takes light to cover some amount of distance is expressed in units of time. -- The speed of light is expressed in units of speed . . . distance/time


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).


What is the speed of sound on the moon?

The speed of sound on the moon is about 1,640 meters per second, compared to around 343 meters per second on Earth. This difference is due to the moon's lack of atmosphere, which affects the propagation of sound waves.


How many mph do you have to go to break the sound barrier?

Mach 1 is the speed at which you break the sound barrier. The speed of sound, or Mach 1, at sea level and under "standard condition" is:1,116.4 ft/s340.3 m/s761.2 mph1,225.1 km/h

What do you use to measure speed in the metric system?

You use exactly the same instruments to measure speed in the metric system as you use in any other system. For example, a speedometer, or a distance measuring device and a stopwatch. The difference is that these devices are calibrated in metric units, instead of old-fashioned units.
