No. Sound requires a physical medium. Sound occurs when atoms strike against other atoms, thus propagating the energy.

Do sounds travel through space?

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


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


Why can't a sound wave travel from a satellite to earth?

A sound wave cannot travel through space because there is no air in space. Without a medium such as air, you can't hear sounds


What do sounds travel in?

Anything that is not a vacuum. A vacuum is a space where nothing exists. It is just space. Very dense things also stop sound such as lead.


Can sounds travel through empty space?

no, an empty space is like a vacum it absorbs all of the vibrations so u cant hear a thing


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.


What is a form of energy that exist wavelike behavior as it travel through space?

That sounds like a description of electromagnetic waves.


Why does sound travel through the air?

Sounds vibrate the air molecules, when the vibrating molecules reach your ear, you ear the sound, there are no molecules in space, thus no sound in space


Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?

Sound can travel faster through space because space is a vacuum where there are no particles to slow down the transmission of sound waves. In a room at room temperature, sound travels through the molecules of the medium, such as air, which can slow down its speed.


What do all sounds have in common?

sounds are similar because if two different sounds are pointed in the same direction, in the same location, at the same thing then the sound waves of the sound will travel in the same path depending on the volume(loudness) of the sound. Sounds are also similar as all sounds need a medium to travel across. Air, water, and any solid are examples of mediums. In space there is no air. This is why in space you wouldn't be able to hear without those radios. Luke Iannone


Can you hear any sounds in space?

In space, sound does not travel because it is a vacuum, meaning there are no molecules to carry sound waves. Astronauts can communicate using radio transmissions inside their spacecraft, but they cannot hear sound like we do on Earth as there is no medium for sound to travel through in outer space.


Why aren't there sounds in space?

There is! You're making a faulty assumption. It's just that you can't hear them! There are interstellar gases which allow sound to travel!
