Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?
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.
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."
How fast does a space shuttle reenter the earths atmosphere?
About thirty times the speed of sound, Mach 30 approx.
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).
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.
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.
How does air affect the earths atmosphere?
I do not mean to sound rude or patronising but air IS the atmosphere.

What must sound have in order to travel?
An atmosphere. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
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.
Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?
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 a sound travel without atmosphere?
Sound can travel through water, metal, rock and air, so the atmosphere isn't strictly needed for sound transmission.
Why can't sound travel on an asteroid?
sound cant travel on an asteroid because it has no atmosphere. it could travel through it.
When a tree falls can sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.
What makes sound travel slowly?
Tempurature makes sound travel slowly. If it is cold outside sound travels slowly and if it is hot outside sound travels quickly.
Is thunder god bowling?
Thunder is the sound of the lightening cracking the sound barrier as it is breaking through the earths atmosphere.
