In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.
Not possible. The air is actually able to travel sound throughout itself without any difficulties. I believe, air actually brings sound closer to the people farther away ; It really helps to stretch sound.
The density will be 1.05
The mass will be 13.65
The lion covered 5 miles in 0.2 hours. With a quick division you can find the speed per hour: 5 / 0.2 = 25 mi/h
