Well, we know that in any material medium, the speed of sound increases along with the density of the medium. The more dense the medium, the higher the speed of sound, and the less dense the medium, the lower the speed of sound. All of this points in the direction that as the density of the medium tends toward zero, the speed of sound in it also tends toward zero. So I guess in space, where the density of material stuff is next to zero, we would expect that the speed of sound would also be next to zero. But consider this: We know that you can't hear sound in space. Since you have already made up a pretend condition for your question, saying that you can hear sound in space, why don't you go ahead and make up a speed too; whatever pleases you.
What else can I help you with?
Is there a difference between the speed of sound on earth and outer space?
sound is a wave and so it travels in a medium. Air, water, or lack there of (space)Speed of sound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaSound travels faster in liquids and non-porous solids than it does in air. It travels about 4.3 times faster in water (1484 m/s), and nearly 15 times as ...Basic concept - Basic formula - Dependence on the properties ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound - Cached - Similarso it would follow that sound travels faster in space but due to the extreme lack of particles in space it would be very hard to actually hear.
Does sound occupy space?
Sound does not occupy physical space like an object would. Sound is a vibration that travels through a medium, such as air or water, so it does not have a physical presence that takes up space.
Why would a phone not make a sound in space?
You can't hear sound in space
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 1500 meters if sound travels at a speed of 330 meters second?
It would take approximately 4.55 seconds for the sound of thunder to travel 1500 meters at a speed of 330 meters per second. This is calculated by dividing the distance by the speed of sound.
Why does a spacecraft speed scilently through space?
In space, there is no medium like air to carry sound waves, so there is no way for sound to travel from the spacecraft to an observer's ears. Therefore, a spacecraft moving through space would not generate any sound that we could hear.
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
What s the speed of sound in space?
Basically, sound doesn't travel in space, i.e., in a vacuum.Speed = distance/timeIf you make a sound over here in space, it would take an infinite time to arriveover there, since sound doesn't travel at all in space. The formula becomesSpeed = distance/∞and that's zero .
How long would it take to reach the sun at the speed of sound?
Technically speaking this would be impossible because there is nothing to move sound through in space but if the sound would move the same speed it does in room temperature air, it would take about 150,000,000,000 / 340 = 441176000 seconds or about 5106 days.
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.
What if there was sound in space, how loud would it be?
As loud as sound would be normally.
Could you shout in outer space?
You have the ability to shout, but sound can't travel in space.

Could you hear an acoustic guitar in space?
No "space" is mostly a vacuum. No sound is transmitted in a vacuum. You would not hear a starship exploding either!
Speed of sound from earth to moon?
For sound to travel, a certain amount of molecules per unit of space are required. In space (that is, outside the atmosphere) -specifically the space between the Earth and the moon- this threshold is not met, so there is no sound. The answer to this question is "Not Applicable."
How long would it take to get to mars traveling at the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is only 768mph.
Theorectically how long would it take sound to travel 1 parsect if it could travel through space?
The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.
