How to Convert Speed of Sound to Kilometers per Hour
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in speed of sound to a measurement in kilometers per hour, multiply the speed by the following conversion ratio: 1,234.8 kilometers per hour/speed of sound.
Since one speed of sound is equal to 1,234.8 kilometers per hour, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The speed in kilometers per hour is equal to the speed in speed of sound multiplied by 1,234.8.
Speed of sound and kilometers per hour are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What is the Speed of Sound?
The speed of sound is the distance a sound wave travels through an elastic medium. The speed of sound through air at 20 °C is equal to 343 meters per second,[1] or roughly 767 miles per hour.
Speed of sound can be abbreviated as sound; for example, 1 speed of sound can be written as 1 sound.

What Are Kilometers per Hour?
Kilometers per hour are a measurement of speed expressing the distance traveled in kilometers in one hour.
The kilometer per hour, or kilometre per hour, is an SI unit of speed in the metric system. Kilometers per hour can be abbreviated as km/h, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kph. For example, 1 kilometer per hour can be written as 1 km/h or 1 kph.
In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.[2] For example, km/h is expressing a change in length or distance relative to a change in time.
Kilometers per hour can be expressed using the formula:
vkm/h = dkm / thr
The velocity in kilometers per hour is equal to the distance in kilometers divided by time in hours.
