What does it mean when an airplane goes through the sound barrier?

Sound Waves move at an elastic speed determined by the medium it's traveling in - for air, it's dependent on the temperature and humidity of the air the sound is traveling in as to how fast sound will travel.Sound moves at different speeds in different mediums - in dry air at 68 degrees F, it travels at about 768mph.The Sound Barrier is considered that speed at which sound is traveling, or Mach 1. When a supersonic aircraft moves past the speed of sound in air, it is said to go through the sound barrier. This is denoted on the ground as a "sonic boom", very common in the 50's and 60's around America, but less so today because of noise considerations in heavily populated areas. The crack of a whip is another example of an object moving through the sound barrier - the "crack" you hear is the tip of the whip breaking the barrier as it moves faster than the sound it made.

Is sound audible on moon?

Depends on what you mean. Sound need an atmosphere to travel through, and the moon hasn't got one - so no sound "outside". If you're standing on the surface of the moon in a space suit, watching a rock fall you wouldn't hear a thing. OTOH if there's a radio in your space suit, you'd hear that one just fine. Inside the helmet there'd be an atmosphere that would carry sound.
