I was watching an XKCD “What-If” video recently and Randal off-handedly mentions the title fact as a given. Upon a further Google search I see explanations about why sound moves faster in liquids than gasses but nothing for my specific question. Is there an intuitive explanation for that fact or is it just one of those weird observable facts with no clear explanation

    The biggest irony is not being able to rely on search engine results because it’s just explanations about why sound moves faster in a liquid and not any answers to your question, only to ask on Lemmy and have people explain why sound moves faster in a liquid and not give any answers to your question.
