How long would it take to go around the equator at the speed of sound?
The circumference of the Earth at the equator is approximately 40,075 kilometers. The speed of sound at sea level is about 343 meters per second. To calculate the time it would take to travel around the equator at that speed, you would divide the circumference by the speed of sound, resulting in roughly 117 hours, or about 4.9 days.
Why earth orbits the Sun not in a circle orbit?
To orbit in a precise circle, it would require a very specific speed. Any variation, and the orbit turns into an ellipse. If ever Earth's orbit WAS a circle, the tug from other planets in the Solar System, as well as any other object that happened to pass nearby, would change it to an ellipse.
How long does it take to get to Saturn from earth at the speed of sound?
This question is complicated by two factors. For one, Saturn is not at a fixed distance from Earth, so the answer would be a range rather than a specific amount of time. But more importantly, there's no fixed speed of sound the way there is for light. The speed of sound is determined by the density of the substrate which the wave is traveling through, say water or air. Even on Earth, the speed of sound through air will vary by temperature and altitude. Since there's nothing in space for the waves to propagate through, sound simply doesn't travel between Earth and Saturn; it has no speed. For the sake of providing an answer, though, let's pretend that space is actually air of the density of that at sea level on Earth. And that Saturn and Earth are at their closest, and stay still. If this were the case, it would take something like: 111 years 273 days 14 hours
How long to reach the sun at the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is approximately 1,125 kilometers per hour (about 700 miles per hour) at sea level. The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). At the speed of sound, it would take roughly 6,700 years to reach the Sun.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
How fast does the speed of sound go from mars to earth?
The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it is traveling through. In Earth's atmosphere, the speed of sound is about 343 meters per second. On Mars, where the atmosphere is much thinner, the speed of sound would be slower than on Earth. Therefore, the speed of sound from Mars to Earth would be slower than 343 meters per second.
How long would it take a cheetah at top speed to circle the Earth at the equator?
Top Cheetah speed = 75 mph. Circumference of the earth at the Equator = 24,901.55 miles. Time to circle the earth = 332 hours (13 days and 20 hours).
If Mar's were somehow positioned into the same orbit as Earth's. How would it's time to circle the Sun compare with Earth's?
The speed and the orbital distance are directly related. If Mars were in Earth's orbit, it would either move with the same speed that the Earth does, or it would fall into the Sun.
How long would it take a tornado to go around the world at top speed?
The fastest forward speed ever recorded for a tornado was 73 mph, though the tornado that set the record did not travel that fast at all times. At that speed it would take about 14 days to circle the earth. The average tornado travels at about 35 mph, at which speed it would take between 29 and 30 days to circle the earth.

How far would an astronaut travel in 24 hours if he orbited earth every 2 hours?
This depends on how high above the earth his orbit is. It is not the speed of his orbit which determines his distance travelled - the orbit is a circle and the perimeter of the circle (distance travelled) depends on the radius (height above the earth) of that circle.
How long does it take to go around the earth at light speed?
The circumference of the Earth is ~24902 miles or 40,076,000 meters. This speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s. So it takes 0.134 seconds to go around the earth once.
Why earth orbits the Sun not in a circle orbit?

How long does it take sound to circle earth?
Sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second) in air at sea level and at room temperature. The Earth's circumference is about 40,075 kilometers (24,901 miles). Therefore, it would take sound roughly 1,200 hours, or about 50 days, to circle the Earth if it could travel uninterrupted around the globe. However, in reality, sound dissipates and does not propagate indefinitely in the atmosphere.
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.
