try search engine &/or wikipedia etc.
it is not so difficult...

=========================================
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

The speed of light in a vacuum is 3 x 10^8 m/s.
The speed of sound depends on what it is travelling through. What we typically experience is the sound travelling through air. The speed of sound in air depends quite strongly on the temperature of the air. At room temperature, the speed of sound is usually taken to be 343 m/s.

light travels in space at - 3x10(to the power)8
light travels through a glass block at - 2x10(to the power)8
the reason for this is when light enters a denser medium it slows down and consequently refracts.

Sound travels at 330 metres per second. Light travels at 299792458 meters per second. (The person who give this answer a thumbs down is an a+se hole as they are both the correct answers)

did you know sound travels 10 times faster through steel, light travels fast it takes 6 seconds to travel to the earth from the sun and sound travels at around 700mph i think not sure SOS.
