Why can astronauts hear on moon if they come close to each other so that their helmets touch?

Normally, to communicate in space, astronauts need radios. This is because sound (in this case, speech) requires a medium (such as air) to move through. In space, since there is no air, astronauts cannot talk to one another directly. However, in your case, the astronauts may converse because their helmets are touching - thus giving the sound waves a medium to move through - the helmets.


Why can 2 astronauts on a spacewalk see each other but not hear each other without radios?

Since there is no air, the sound waves would not travel. Radio waves being electromagnetic do not rely on matter (atmosphere) to conduct them.

Why can astronauts not talk to each other without communication equipment on the moon?

There is no air on the moon. Sound waves only propagate through a medium, such as air, water, etc. Sound waves cannot propagate through a vacuum, therefore the astronauts had to use radios to speak to each other.
