That's the only way to communicate with sound where there is no air.

Why do astronauts have radio transmitters when they are on moon?

So they can talk to each other and Earth, even though there is no air.Astronauts have radio transmitters on moon as they cannot communicate with each other.Sound cannot travel if there is no air. As there is no air on the moon astronauts need radio transmitters when they are on moon.


Why do astronauts who land on moon talk through wireless sets using radio waves?

Sound needs air to travel through, and as there's no air on the moon. Astronauts have to use radios to talk to each other when in an envrionment without air. Radio waves travel through space and have no trouble traveling where there's no air.


How do astronauts communicate in space?

Astronauts mainly communicate in space using radio waves. They use radios to talk to mission control on Earth and to communicate with each other inside the spacecraft. They can also use video conferencing and email for communication purposes.


Do astronauts still use the radio to communicate or was it in the ancient days?

Firstly, neither astronauts or radio existed in ancient times. Secondly, radio has always been used by astronauts and continues to be so, because it is the only thing that works across the distances and through the vacuum.

Why can't astronauts communicate with each other in outer space?

Astronauts can communicate with each other in outer space using radio waves. However, the lack of atmosphere in space means there is no medium for sound to travel through, so they can't talk to each other in the same way we do on Earth. Instead, they use radio communication systems built into their spacesuits or spacecraft.


Can astronauts talk to each other on the moon?

They can and did quite easily, by radio between their suits. Inside the LM they had air and spoke as easily as anybody on Earth. (They couldn't whistle though, the air pressure in the LM was too low)


Why do astronauts need radios to talk in space?

Sound is carried by vibrations of molecules. When you talk here on Earth, air molecules transmit the vibrations and allow others to hear you. In open space there are very few molecules at all so there is nothing to carry the vibrations. Radios use radio waves to transmit information from one to another. These waves move through space by themselves so they can be transmitted from one astronaut to another. Then the radio turns the wave back into sound in the air filled compartment the astronauts breath in.
