The problem of the "sound barrier" has to do with moving through
air, and the things the air does when you try to push it out of the
way faster than the speed of sound.  Moving through air faster
than sound was an engineering and technological problem, not
a scientific one.

Concerning light, that's about 874 thousand times faster.

artcher [175]

Answer:

Less than Mercury's

Explanation:

According to third Kepler's law, the square of the planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the average orbital radius of the planet's orbit. The constant of proportionality depends only on the mass of the star, recall that 51 Peg has the same mass as the Sun. Since the orbital period of this planet is less than Mercury's, its average orbital radius is less than Mercury's.
