    It depends on the air, yes, that's right. In dry air (68F) the speed of sound is about 768mph.

    Every day I realize just how much I don't know. I'll never measure the speed of sound.
    First line for a poem? Nah ... lol

    I gave you a thumbs up ... I think it went the other way. I'm having computer problems. Let me know if you got a thumb down. k?

    The only reason I knew this, is because I researched it for my book. I almost laughed when I saw it. It did come in handy after all.

    When you are asking the science question, try to be specific to your question.


    By the way, speed of the sound in air ( at Normal Temperature & Pressure) is 330 m/s.


    Note: Remember! the factors that effect the speed of the sound in the medium are temperature, humidity , density & direction of air flow.


    So, in the same medium, speed of sound vary with different temperature.


    Hope this has helped you to some extent. Now, share the information with your friends too.
