The speed of sound through a solid depends upon the density of that solid. The denser the solid, the quicker sound travels.
because the atoms in solid are compact it helps sound to travel fast
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
6420.4 Meters a second on average.
You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.
Because waves, such as sound, need to travel through a medium, whether it be water, air, etc. Since in empty space, there is no air, therefore there is no medium to travel in, so sound cannot travel.Sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel through. They do this by alternately compressing and rarifying the distanced between the atoms or molecules of the medium.

depending on the nature of the solid liquid or gas. usually gas the fastest followed by liquid than solid.

All the molecules are packed in tight and in an orderly fashion so the sound can travel faster through it. Gases have molecules away from each other so the sound cannot be passed through the vibrating and bouncing molecules so well.
The rate at which sound travels through stone depends on the stone. Sound will travel faster through warm stone than cold stone.
