* Speed of light in a vacuum: Approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s)

* Speed of sound in air: Approximately 343 meters per second (m/s)

Calculation:

Divide the speed of light by the speed of sound:

299,792,458 m/s / 343 m/s ≈ 874,000

Answer: The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 874,000 times faster than the speed of sound in air.
