how long does it take for the speed of light and sound to travel around the world

Accepted Answer

-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover a distance equal to the length of the equator in about 0.13 second.-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure), it would take about 32.6 hours to cover the same distance.
