Convert multiples of the speed of sound to Mach and back. These are equivalent measurements.
The speed of sound and Mach number are the same concept. Mach 1 equals exactly 1 times the speed of sound, so the conversion is 1:1.

Yes. The Mach number is defined as the ratio of speed to the speed of sound. Mach 1 = 1x the speed of sound.
Speed of sound is the physical phenomenon, while Mach number is the dimensionless ratio used in aerodynamics.
Yes, it depends on temperature and medium. In colder air, the speed of sound decreases.
The Mach number is named after Austrian physicist Ernst Mach (1838-1916).
