Sound can travel through water, metal, rock and air, so the atmosphere isn't strictly needed for sound transmission.

Without atmosphere would there be sound?

Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel. Without an atmosphere, such as in outer space, there would be no molecules to transmit sound waves, so we would not hear sound in the traditional sense.


Does sound travel in the moons atmosphere?

Sound would travel in the moon's atmosphere if the moon had any atmosphere, but since it hasn't, it doesn't.

Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?

Yes, sound can travel in the atmosphere of the moon, but it would be very different from sound travel on Earth due to the moon's thin atmosphere. Sound waves would propagate through the moon's atmosphere much slower and with less intensity than on Earth. Additionally, the lack of air molecules on the moon means that sound would not be able to travel very far.

Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?

No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
