Sound, unlike light, needs a medium through which to travel. Sound relies on vibrating molecules or particles. Sound can travel through air at about 3 km/s as it vibrates particles and then the neighbouring particles etc. but it can travel much faster through steel because the particles are much more tightly packed.
In outer space there are not enough particles to vibrate, no neighbouring particles for the very few particles that are there. No particles means that there is no sound.
What else can I help you with?
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.
Why cant sound trave through empty space?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.
Why cant you listen sound on the moon?
There is no air for sound to travel through.
Why can't sound travel on an asteroid?
sound cant travel on an asteroid because it has no atmosphere. it could travel through it.
What sound cant travel through?
sound can't travel through a vacuum. or a place without air.
Can light and sound travel through space?
light can but sound cant as there is no air
Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Why cant sound waves travel through a vaccuum?
No medium to carry the sound energy.
Why cant sound pass through a vacuum?
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid material. In a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to propagate, so sound cannot travel through it.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Why cant Sound waves in outer space cannot travel in outer space because?
No air. Sound is vibration is something- most commonly air, but sometimes water, metal, etc. There is no air in outer space to be vibrated.
What happens when p waves and S waves try to pass through the outer core?
s waves cant travel through it
