Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.

What of a sound wave is the distance between a compression or rarefaction and the next compression or rarefaction?
It is equal to wavelength.
What is difference between crest and rarefaction?
Transverse waves have crests & troughs ,Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions . rarefaction is a pulling force it is a point when least force is applied
What is the difference between compression and rarefaction?
compression waves the moving particles move backwards and forward in the same direction as the energy transfer.
How do you measure the compression of a longitudinal wave?
It is the distance between two points of maximum compression (or minimum compression).
WHAT TERM DESCRIBES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ANY TWO CRESTS IN A TRANSVERSE WAVE OR THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ANY TWO RAREFACTION IN A LONGITUDINAL WAVE?
That is the wavelength.

What is the difference between a compression and a refraction?
the difference is a rarefaction needs vibration i believe i'mnot sure

What is the difference between compression wave and electromagnetic wave?
You mean longitudinal wave by compression wave? Electromagnetic wave is transverse in nature. It does not need a material medium. It can pass even through vacuum. But compression waves bady needs a material medium.
