The moon's atmosphere is negligible. So, it is as good as saying that the moon does not have an atmosphere.
Hence, sound does not travel through it.

Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?
Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.
Why is the moon sometimes called the silent planet?
Because the moon has no atmosphere which means it has no wind or any weather, so there is no sound to hear.There is also no medium for the sound to travel through.Sound cannot travel through empty space (a vacuum).
Do the sounds on earth sound louder on the moon?
No, what we call sound are vibrations that travel through and are made up of air. Just like waves on the ocean. The moon has no atmosphere so there is no "sound".
When two men talk on the moon they cannot hear each other why?
Sound waves travel via vibrating molecules in air or other materials (water for example). On the Moon there is no atmosphere and as such nothing for sound waves to travel in.
Speed of sound from earth to moon?
For sound to travel, a certain amount of molecules per unit of space are required. In space (that is, outside the atmosphere) -specifically the space between the Earth and the moon- this threshold is not met, so there is no sound. The answer to this question is "Not Applicable."
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.
Why cant sound travel on the moon?
Sound can travel on the moon because there is no atmosphere. Space is a vacuum that does not allow sound to travel.
What does moon sound like?
NOTHING there is no atmosphere on the moon therefore sound cannot travel
How long does it take for sound to travel a mile on the moon?
Since the moon has little to no atmosphere, sound cannot move as it has no medium to travel thru.
Can you hear the sound of meteorite falling on moon?
we canot hear because sound travel in waves. on moon there is no atmosphere
Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?
Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.
What particles are in the Moon's atmosphere to stop sound?
The moon has no atmosphere at all. That's why sound won't travel there. If there were anyatmosphere ... especially one with particles in it ... then sound could move around just fine.
Will sound travel faster or slower on moon than on earth?
Sound will not travel on the moon because on the moon there is no air, and sound works by vibrating particles next to each other. YES IT WONT TRAVEL AT ALL
Why cant we hear each other on the moon?
The Moon has no atmosphere, only vacuum. There is nothing for the sound waves to travel in.
Why is the moon sometimes called the silent planet?

Can there be sound with no atmosphere?
Sound, unlike light, requires a medium to travel through. With no medium (atmosphere) there can be no sound. If, for instance, a meteor crashed on the moon, you would not hear it. If you were standing on the moon, you would feel it, because the shock waves travel through the medium of the moon's body, but you would not hear it.
Do the sounds on earth sound louder on the moon?
No, what we call sound are vibrations that travel through and are made up of air. Just like waves on the ocean. The moon has no atmosphere so there is no "sound".
