Why does sound not travel through space?
Sound does move through space. It doesn't move though empty space, i.e. a vaccuum. In outer space there is a vaccuum (though not necessarily a perfect vaccuum).Sound is caused by vibrations in a medium such as air (or water or wood). These vibrations compress and rarefy the medium. The vibrations move through the medium as waves.In a vaccuum, there is no medium thus there is no sound.
Does a vacuum have particles?
A perfect vaccuum is pure space and has no particles in it
Can a light travel through a vacuum?
Yes. Refer to stars - space is a vaccuum (though not a perfect vaccuum) and because light can travel through a vaccuum, we have day and night here on Earth. We can even see light from other stars light years away.

How do you calculate space temperature?
The temperature of outer space is measured in Degrees Kelvin. The Kelvin scale starts at what is called Absolute Zero, and is based on the theory of a "Perfect Vaccuum" (a vaccuum in which no matter exists whatsoever). Space, however, is not a perfect vaccuum. There are various gasses and other particles floating around in it, and for that reason its temperature cannot possibly be Absolute Zero. It would depend on exactly how much matter is present in any given region of space as to that regions temperature in Degrees Kelvin. It is scientifically acceptable to determine the temperature of space to be "fractionally above Absolute Zero", as its (space, as a whole) temperature varies from region to region. How the temperature in space is physically measured is another question, and one I cannot answer.
What kind of pen writes in space?
Good Question Well ......... There is a vaccuum-cartridge pen that will write in space. There is also a device known as a "pencil." :)
What miniature device was invented that allowed the space program possible?
Transistor. Vaccuum tubes would have a hard time withstanding the shock and vibration of launch.
What do vaccuum lines do?
it takes the rubbish through to the vaccuum cleaners inner part where the rubbish is kept
Chevy 350 will not change out of first gear?
Sounds like the vaccuum modulator might have gotten disconnected. Pass side of the car, side of the trans. A vaccuum diaphram, with a vaccuum hose connected, that runs up to the motor.
Can vacuum create weightlessness?
A perfect vaccuum is one in which there are no molecules of anything in it. That means no atmosphere, no nothing. But, that has nothing to do with the effects of gravity. Outer space is very close to being a perfect vaccuum but still experiences gravitational fields; if it didn't the Earth would be flung out in nothingness.
How do you Clear a vent stack?
Vaccuum it out
Why would a 1986 BMW 325E be revving up on its own?
Vaccuum leak. Replace all vaccuum lines that look cracked, should fix the problem.
