speed of sound changes with altitude right?
- cbsmith 2y agoEffectively, yes.
- crznp 2y agoEffectively no! It doesn't depend on pressure. Basically just temperature (Also composition, esp: water content and form). That relies on assumptions (ideal gas, adiabatic compression) that might break down for supersonic jets, but it's pretty close for the speed of sound.
