The Earth travels at about 66000 miles per hour around the sun, much faster than the speed of sound which is about 750 miles per hour.
Even as the Earth rotates, a point on the equator travels at a little over 1000 miles per hour so parts of the planet are faster than the speed of sound even without the orbit around the sun.

Yes, the speed of the Earth as it rotates around its axis is faster than the speed of sound. The Earth rotates at a speed of approximately 1,000 miles per hour at the equator, while the speed of sound is roughly 767 miles per hour at sea level.
its not
The passenger airplane that flies faster than the speed of sound is called the Concorde.
The sound barrier
No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
Yes, humans can travel faster than the speed of sound. Supersonic flights, like those carried out by fighter jets, can exceed the speed of sound. Additionally, spacecraft entering and exiting the Earth's atmosphere also travel faster than the speed of sound.
