Best Answer

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

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
