In outer space there is no air medium for travelling of sound waves.so it is impossible for sound to travel through outer space ..!!

Can you hear anything in outer space?
No. Sound requires a medium through which it can travel. Since space is near a vacuum, there is no medium for sound.
Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?
Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.
Could you shout in outer space?
You have the ability to shout, but sound can't travel in space.
Why did astronauts who did experminets on the moon communicate with each other using walkie talkies even when they were right next to one another?
Sound needs to travel in medium like air, but there is no air in outer space, so sound is unable to travel. So basically sound needs air to travel, if there is no air sound cannot travel, when sound is unable to travel you cannot communicate (talk, speak, etc)
How far can sound travel in space between astonauts?
Sound waves require a medium to travel through to propagate from point A to point B. In space there is no such medium, so sound does not travel in space.
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
How far will sound travel through space in 1 second?
If you're referring to outer space, then sound does not travel at all.
Does light need a medium through which to travel?
No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
Where does sound not travel?
outer space because you need some kind of physical material for sound to travel through and there's none of that in space
Why cant sound travel through outer?
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.
Why can't we communicate in outer space?
We can if we use radio. Without it, sound waves can't travel through space because there is no air for it to travel through.
What other substances can sound travel through?
Sound is a mechanical wave, which requires a medium to travel through. That medium can be nearly anything: air, water, steel, etc. The only thing sounds can't travel through is a vacuum, such as outer space.
Can you hear anything in outer space?
No. Sound requires a medium through which it can travel. Since space is near a vacuum, there is no medium for sound.
Why do sounds NOT travel through outer space?
Sound is a vibration when something makes a noise every thing around vibrates in order to make the sound for it to travel it needs particles to vibrate there is almost no matter in outer space hence no particles
How fast does sound take to get from the sun?
Sound must have matter to travel through - we are used to hearing sound that travels through air. But there is no air in outer space. We have heard sound that travels through water, but, there is no water in outer space either. In fact, outer space consists of a vacuum . . . not a floor cleaner, but a condition in which there is no matter - no air, no water, no nothing. So their is no sound transmission from the Sun. Have you heard any?
Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?
Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.
