According to Wikipedia:
- In air, light travels at approximately 300,000 kilometres per second or 186,000 miles per second.
- In dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343 meters per second (1,125 ft/s). This equates to 1,236 kilometers per hour (768 mph), or about one kilometer in three seconds and about one mile in five seconds. At different temperatures and humidities, sound travels at different rates.

Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound. Light travels through empty space at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), whereas sound travels through air at about 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second).
Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Light travels much faster than sound - about a million times faster. When an event happens at a distance, light reaches your eyes almost instantly, allowing you to see it first. Sound, on the other hand, travels much slower, taking some time to reach your ears, which is why you hear the event after seeing it.
What is faster then sound waves?
speed of light
How fast does an object need to move to break the speed of sound?
Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, which means you have to travel faster than that to break the light barrier. This feat is technically "impossible", since the faster you move, the more mass you have and the more mass you have, the more energy is required to move you, and by the time you reach the speed of light, you will need to have infinite energy. This doesn't apply to light particles, since they have no mass.
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
What gose faster light or sound?
Light can move faster. Did you know that light from the Sun can reach Earth in just 8 minutes?
Can any object move faster than sound?
yes, bot not faster than light
Do light and sound both move in waves?
Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.
Is light faster than sound or is it the other away around?
Light is faster than sound.
Conconde flies faster than the speed of light?
Concorde is a commercial supersonic aircraft that can travel at speeds over twice the speed of sound, but it cannot fly faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing with mass can reach or exceed the speed of light in a vacuum.
Whats faster sound or light?
Light is about 800,000 faster (compared to the speed of sound in air).
Which tavels faster light or sound?
Light.
Do humans process sound or light faster?
Light is what humans process faster
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Can light travel as fast as sound?
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
What travels faster the sound?
light
What two ways are light and sound different?
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
