What is the velocity of sound in space?

Sound requires the physical compression and expansion of molecules to be transmitted, it is not electromagnetic energy like light and microwaves. It therefore cannot be transmitted through a vacuum so it cannot have a velocity in space


Could you hear an acoustic guitar in space?

No "space" is mostly a vacuum. No sound is transmitted in a vacuum. You would not hear a starship exploding either!


Why can you not hear a burp in space?

In space, there is no air or atmosphere for sound waves to travel through, so you wouldn't be able to hear a burp as there is no medium for sound to be transmitted. Sound requires particles such as air to vibrate and carry the sound waves, which is absent in the vacuum of space.


Can you hear your self in space?

No, you cannot hear yourself in space because sound requires a medium, like air or water, to travel through. Space is a vacuum, which means it lacks the necessary molecules to carry sound waves. Therefore, any sound you make would not be transmitted or heard.


Can compression waves be transmitted through a vacuum of space?

no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.


How quiet is it in space?

Space is completely silent because there is no air or medium for sound to travel through. This means that sound waves cannot be transmitted, resulting in complete silence. However, astronauts can still communicate using radio waves or vibrations within their space suits.


Theorectically how long would it take sound to travel 1 parsect if it could travel through space?

The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.


Which type of energy is transmitted by vibrations of air?

Sound waves are transmitted in this manner.


What do ashronauts hear in space?

In space, astronauts do not hear sound as we do on Earth because there is no air to transmit sound waves. However, they can communicate with each other and with Mission Control using radios and headphones inside their helmets. They may also hear vibrations transmitted through their spacecraft.


How is hearing on Earth differ from hearing in space?

Depends on if you mean hearing in a space shuttle, or hearing out in real "space." Sound travels through air, so if you were out in real "space," sound waves would not travel since there is no air (or other medium for sound to travel in). If you were in a space shuttle, with air, and different objects, sound would be transmitted much in the same way that it is on Earth, and would be perceived much in the same way as well. This is why astronauts can speak freely with one another aboard space crafts.


Would clapping your hands together in space create an invisible and soundless shock-wave?

Clapping your hands together in space wouldn't create a shockwave or sound because there is no medium (like air) for the sound to travel through. In space, sound waves cannot be transmitted due to the lack of air molecules to carry sound vibrations, so even if you clap your hands together, there will be no sound.


Velocity of the sound is maximum in which gas?

That is a difficult question. I would say that the denser the gas, the faster the speed of sound. Since the gas occupies a lot more space, sound energy/waves are transmitted more easily. :D
