Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.

∙ 11y agoOf course. That's how you see the sun, moon, International Space Station,
Hubble telescope, stars, planets, comets, etc.
If it didn't, then there would be no point to astronomical observatories with
optical telescopes in them.

∙ 13y agoyes. The Sun was shining today, so light is still able to travel through a vacuum.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoWell, yes it does! Otherwise you would not have any light from the Sun.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoBecause light does not need matter to transmit through

∙ 14y agoDid you ever see the Sun, the Moon, or the stars? YES - light can travel through empty space.

In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
What type of electromagnetic signals are currently used to communicate through space?
Infrared light Microwaves Visible light
How does light travel through a window?
Light travels through two things: either empty space, or space which contains transparent materials. Some paterials are only partially transparent or translucent, in which case some light does travel through it, but not all the light will get through.
What space telescope detects visible light from objects in space?
Hubble
How are light waves and sound waves similar?
light and sound have to be generated from an object! Although light can travel through space with no air, sound can not as it needs something to travel through.You are able to shoot a gun in space and it will not be heard!
Why is visible light considered to be radiant energy and can travel through empty space but sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
Well light is an electromagnetic wave and it pushes itself through space ,but sound requires particles to travel through and if there are no particles for it to travel through you have no sound
In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?
Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.
What travels faster through space visible light or ultraviolet rays?
neither, both travel at the same speed: c
What type of material can travel through space?
Sound and Light can travel through space.
Can light travel through space?
Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.
What parts of space can light waves travel through?
Light can travel through any parts of space, there is no part that it is excluded from.
What do light rays need to travel through space?
If light rays did not travel through space there would be no way for them to reach Earth.
Does light need a medium through which to travel?
No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
What materials can light travel through faster than it travels through air?
Light travels fastest through space which has no air. Space is a vacuum which is the fastest way for light to travel.
What type of wave can move through space?
Light waves do, but sound waves cannot, because in space is no medium to carry the vibration. Radio, TV and others can travel in space also.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
