6,570,000 miles The average speed of sound is 1,100 feet per second (at Sea Level), which is 750 mph. Multiply 750 by 24 to get the distance that sound travels in a day, and then multiply that result by 365 to get the distance that sound travels in a year. At that speed, it would take sound a little over 14 years to reach the Sun. It would only take about 13 days for sound to reach the moon.
A photon is "packet" of light and so travels at the speed of light: 186,000 miles per second. Read the provided link to find out how far the photon will travel in one year (or multiply it out for yourself, if you like). The speed of 186,000 mps is only valid for a vacuum, however. If your photon is traveling through a medium such as air, it will go slower (see second link). By the way, light is an electromagnetic wave. A photon is a wave "packet". This is why the nature of light was so difficult to figure out: It has both wave and particulate properties.
The range of how far sound will travel depends on how loud a sound is made- But it depends on the environment (wind, heat, humidity,) these environments may cause sound to go into different directions. If you were to scream rather than whisper, your scream would go a whole much further.
Ps: i am the one who edited the page, before it said "the B word, i dont want to say
it" ,so i decided to make wiki awsners a better internet site!
in typical conditions sound travels roughly at about 1100 feet per second and theres 5280 ft in 1 mile so in about 5 seconds it travels 1 mile.. 7.51 times around the earth in one second
At sea level, about 761.2 miles in one hour.
a light year

I think it must be 8 times as much. That is 2752 meters in 8 seconds.
sound travels so fast because it feels like it
That's aproximately the distance sound travels in one second, in air. Since light travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, the answer is, approximately 300,000 kilometers.
Sound waves travel fastest through solids as the molecules are tightly paced in solids. While in LIQUIDS and GASES molecules are far apart and there is a lesser chance of molecules striking one another.
0.3 cm a) one trillionth of a second= 1.0x10^-12 b) light travels at = 3x10^8 meters per second b/a= 0.0003 meters = 0.3 cm actually 0.03cm or 0.3mm or 300µm
29.782Mph
You travel 51.3 feet per second.
0.299792458 millimeter
Just divide 767 by 60 and then that's your answer.
I think it must be 8 times as much. That is 2752 meters in 8 seconds.
22 mph = 9.8 metres per second, approx.
One sixtieth of a mile = 88 feet.
40 x 5280/3600 feet...
At the temperature of 20 degrees Celsius the sound travels 343 meters in one second or 1125.328 feet in one second. That is 20580 meters in one minute or 67523 feet in one minute.
45 miles per hour = 66 feet per second
1131.9 meters or about 4 times as fast per second
1/60 of a mile which is 88 feet.
