Light travels faster than sound. In vacuum, the speed of light is about 3.0 x 10^8 m/s while that of sound is 0 m/s (sound needs a medium to travel, hence it cannot travel through a vacuum). In air, the speed of sound is approximately 340 m/s while that of light is the same as in the previous condition.
The actual speed of sound varies depending on the altitude above sea level because sound travels at slightly different speeds at different temperatures and the temperature varies according to altitude. At sea level, the speed of sound is about 761 miles per hour (1,225 kilometers per hour). At 20,000 feet (6,096 meters), the speed of sound is 660 miles per hour (1,062 kilometers per hour). The speed of sound is commonly refered to as Mach 1, named after the 19th century Austrian physicist Ernst Mach [for biographical details click here].
