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.


Why can't sound waves travel though space?

sound waves cant travel through space because there is no oxygen, and if there is no oxygen there is nothing to carry the sound waves. youre welcom theSas


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 sound travel from planet to planet?

Because space is a Vacuum, there are not enough gas molecules around to transfer the sound waves.


Why cant you hear each other in space?

Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In space, there is a near-vacuum with very few particles to carry sound waves. Therefore, without a medium to propagate through, sound cannot travel in space.


Why cant you here in space?

Because there is no atmosphere in space, therefore nothing can carry the sound waves of your vocal cords. Sound relies on pressure waves moving through air. Therefore, in the absolute vacuum of space, no sound can be heard at all.


What are 2 energy waves that cant be seen?

Heat waves (infared) and sound waves.


Can compression waves be transmitted through a vacuum of space?

no the only waves that can go through space is the electromagnetic waves and it doesnt need sound or matter to travel.compressional waves have to come off of something and travel{like sound} it cant travel because there is nothing to travel through.the vacuum of space is just nothing and only light can go through as well, but it takes time.

Is there sound in outer space?

No. Sound is a waveform made by the compression and expansion of something called a 'medium'. Usually the medium is air. Sound is caused by vibrations passing through the air. The vibrations cause the air to expand and compress in waves from the source of the sound until it hits our eardrums and transmits the vibrations to the drum, into the ear and to the brain where we recognise it as something we call 'sound'. Of course, sound can travel through other media including water (as in echo sounding) or even in solids (try placing your ear to the end of a broomstick held on a vibrating engine - the sound is really amplified as it passes through the stick). In the vacuum of space, however, there is no air or any other medium, and therefore sound cannot travel. Light can travel through space because light is a waveform that is part of the electromagnetic spectrum (which includes radio waves, microwaves and x rays) and electromagnetic waves do not need a medium in which to travel. The absence of sound in space is often forgotten in cheap science fiction movies where an alien spaceship is exploded and you hear the loud bang. In real life this would never happen. The best depiction of space and the absence of sound in it is in Arthur C Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey directed by Stanley Kubrick. Although it is one of the greatest science fiction movies of all time, it was criticised because of periods of silence during the 'space' scenes - but of course this was a factually accurate depiction as opposed to the cheap sci-fi 'B' movies where enemy ships explode in a flash of light and a huge bang.There is no sound in outer space. Sound actually travels as pressure waves through air, and since air does not exist in outer space, there is no sound.
