Calculation formula
Sound is a vibration that passes through elastic media waves. The speed of the sound describes how far the wave is in a given amount
The speed of the sound at a dry air temperature of 21 ° C (70 ° F) is 344 m / s (1230 km / Hours, or 770 miles, or 1130 feet per second). Although it is usually used to specifically refer to air, the speed of sound can be measured in almost any substance. Sounds in liquid and non-porous solids are much faster than air.
The most important factor affecting the speed of sound in the Earth's atmosphere is temperature.
