• A jetliner cruises at 900 km/h.

• The space shuttle hurtles through space at 8000 m/sec.

• Sound travels 20,600 meters in one minute.

changing all of them into km/h:

1.A meteor enters the Earth's atmosphere at 60 km/sec

= 216,000 km/h.........................................[3600 x 60 km=216000 km /h as 1 hour =3600 seconds]

2.A jetliner cruises is at 900 km/h.

3.The space shuttle hurtles through space at 8000 m/sec

= 28,800 km/h.

4.Sound travels 20,600 meters in one minute

= 20.6 km/min = 1,236 km/h.

so , the meteor is fastest.

Change them all into km/h.

A meteor enters the Earth's atmosphere at 60 km/sec = 216,000 km/h.

A jetliner cruises at 900 km/h.

The space shuttle hurtles through space at 8000 m/sec = 28,800 km/h.

Sound travels 20,600 meters in one minute = 20.6 km/min = 1,236 km/h.

Therefore , the meteor is fastest.
