Supersonic speed refers to speeds that exceed the speed of sound in a given medium, typically air. In standard atmospheric conditions at sea level, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second (about 1,125 feet per minute, or 1,125 kilometers per hour, or 767 miles per hour). When an object travels faster than this threshold, it is said to be traveling at supersonic speeds.
