Why can sound only travel a certain distance on the earth?
Gingerbaby1997
It has something to do with the loss of energy that is inherent in a waveform.

Does sound travel faster than sound?
no. sound is sound so how on earth can it be faster than itself? answer that!
Why sound canot travel in space?
In order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it t travel through. On Earth, sound travels by vibrating air molecules, there are no molecules in space, nothing to vibrate
What distance does sound travel through a solid?
There is no limiting distance. But just like in any other medium, the sound generally spreads out and its amplitude decreases as it proceeds farther, so there's some distance past which you can't detect it any more, and to all appearances, you would say that the sound has not traveled any further than that. The distance depends on the substance, and on the amplitude of the sound at its source. (Sound waves that originate in thunder travel many miles through the ground. Sound waves that originate in earthquakes travel many hundreds, or thousands, of miles through rock.)
What are two examples that demostrate that sound takes time to travel?
sound travels at about 700 mphso large distance is an example
How long do sounds take to travel?
To travel where? - That would depend on the distance you want it to travel. In air, sound moves at about 310 meters per second (depends on the temperature). This is about 1,236 kilometers per hour (or 768 mph).
If everyone on earth was to shout how far will the sound travel by distance?
around the world 26,000 miles
What speed does sound travel from the sun to the earth in mph?
sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel. Space is a vacuum, so sound doesn't travel from the sun to earth.
Why can't sound waves be used to measure the distance between the earth and moon?
Sound waves are a form of compression wave which requires a medium to be transferred. Due to the vacuum of space, sound will not travel from the earth to the moon.
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 faster than sound?
no. sound is sound so how on earth can it be faster than itself? answer that!
How quickly a sound reaches your ear depends on?
It depends on the distance it has to travel.
Which of these can sound not travel through?
Sound cannot travel through vacuum. It needs a medium, such as air, water, earth, etc.
Can sound travel through oxygen?
Sound can travel through fire as it does not directly affect sound. Sound travels in waves which can pass through solid objects but this limits the distance they can go.
How fast does the speed of sound go from mars to earth?
No way! There is vacuum where no sound can travel.
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 sound canot travel in space?
In order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it t travel through. On Earth, sound travels by vibrating air molecules, there are no molecules in space, nothing to vibrate
What are waves of energy that travel through earth?
Sound waves
