Sound travels about 4.3 times faster in water than in air. This is because sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, and water is a much denser medium than air. When a sound wave travels through water, the particles of water are more closely spaced together, so they can transmit the vibrations much more quickly than the particles of air.
The speed of sound in water is approximately 1,481 meters per second (m/s), while the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 m/s. This means that a sound wave would travel about 4.3 times farther through water than it would through air in the same amount of time.
This difference in the speed of sound is why underwater sounds can travel much farther than sounds in air. For example, a whale's call can travel for hundreds of miles underwater, while a human's shout can only travel for a few hundred yards in air.
