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.


Do sound waves travel through space?

Not unless there's some material matter in the space.


Is there a place in the universe there is no sound?

Sound requires matter, so basically, anywhere where there is no matter, i.e. in empty space, there can be no sound.


Why cant you here in space?

Because there is no atmosphere in space, therefore nothing can carry the sound waves of your vocal cords. Sound relies on pressure waves moving through air. Therefore, in the absolute vacuum of space, no sound can be heard at all.


What kind of wave can travel only through matter?

A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.


What to waves travel through?

Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.


Can sound wave travel through space or matter?

Type your answer here... yes because of the vibration


Why does sound only travel in matter?

Sound is made of vibrations if there is no matter to vibrate i.e. in outer space, there can be no sound (now there is matter in space but it's only some insanely small amount like 1 practical per meter, don't quote me on that tho)


What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?

Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.


What can't sound travel through and why?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.


Does matter help sound travel through an empty room?

By definition, matter is required for sound to exist. Sound waves are transferred by vibration of molecules, which is why sound does not exist within the vacuum of space. In space nobody really can hear you scream.


Why do sounds NOT travel through outer space?

Sound is a vibration when something makes a noise every thing around vibrates in order to make the sound for it to travel it needs particles to vibrate there is almost no matter in outer space hence no particles
