After more than 60,000 answers posted to this website, I must admit that this
question is in a class by itself ... grammatically precise, taut in its phrasing and
economically expressed, and signifying nothing.
One may as well ask 'Does a submarine sail lower than depth ?', 'Does an airplane
rise beyond height ?', 'Is an infant younger than age ?', 'Was Solomon smarter than
wisdom ?', and 'Are most diamonds more expensive than cost ?'.
Did you mean to ask "How many times is light faster than sound ?" ?
If so, you failed, and then proceeded to fail again in your proofreading.
An earlier answer stated the opinion that this question has no answer, but I shall
disagree. To ponder and puzzle over the matter of whether this question has an
answer is pointless, since the question itself, as stated, is utterly without meaning.
Running speed is about 3 m/s Light speed is about 300000000 m/s That's 10^8 times faster
No real limit, up to the speed of light. The Apollo astronauts traveled at ABOUT 32 times the speed of sound on their trip to the moon. That is the fastest yet.
The speed of sound in air is about 300 meters per second. (320 is closer still). ..The speed of light in a vacuum is 300 000 000 meters per second.So the speed of light in a vacuum (in air it is only slightly different) is about one million times the speed of sound in air.
Speed of Light======================Answer #2:Many modern aircraft cruise at speeds greater than that of sound.The adjective used to describe such travel is "supersonic".
The speed of light is only the speed limit for information. There are many experiments showing that we can made "non-information" travel faster than the speed of light. For example, in quantum mechanics the phase velocity is faster than the speed of light but the group velocity is slower (or equal to) the speed of light. Also, if two light waves are traveling at the speed of light and they interact, e.g. they constructively interfere with each other, the interference can travel faster than the speed of light. Once again, the speed limit of light is only on information. The word "information" is sometimes tricky to define though.

100% - sound is vibration of atoms/molecules - it cannot travel through vacuum ___________________________ The idea of "speed pf sound in a vacuum" is meaningless; sound cannot travel without a medium such as air, water, metal, stone, or SOMETHING. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations; there has to be something to vibrate. The speed of sound in air is around 700 miles per hour, while the speed of light is 186,000 miles per SECOND.

You can cross the US 75 times at light speed because many countries require bells on byicyles.

100 seconds. 1 m/s 3x108
That seems unlikely. Any method used to travel faster than the speed of light would also make it possible to travel to the past; and as any science-fiction fan knows, that is quite problematic.
We know the speed of light, and if it stays in the same medium, it never changes.We don't know the speed of the fighter jet, and besides that, it can change over a wide range.Let's give the fighter jet the speed of 1200m/s- the fastest fighter jet.Then what we're really talking about is the speed of light compared to the speed of sound.That's (300000000m/s/ 1200m/s) = 250000 times as fast!
If one has solved the problem of how to accelerate to the speed of light and then return to normal, well then we suppose he would be free to do it as many times as he feels like it.

40 times faster at maximum. 480 MB speed at 2.0.
