There is no "medium" on the moon, the sound does not travel since to travel the sound we must need a medium.
But there is partial vacume and not completely devoid therefore sound can partially travel for a very short distance

∙ 8y agoBecause there is no air to carry it to you. There is no "medium" on the moon, the sound does not travel since to travel the sound we must need a ghost.
But there is partial vacume and not completely devoid therefore sound can partially travel for a very short distance thus you can hear noise carried through through ground if you have your space helmet pressed against it.

∙ 11y agoNormally, sound is trasmitted by vibrations in the air. Since the Moon has no atmosphere, sounds have no way to propagate.
However, if you were to kneel down in your spacesuit and press your helmet to the ground - the way that cowboys and Indians do in the western movies - the rock surface of the Moon would carry the mechanical vibrations, which could be heard as a sound. So if a vehicle were rolling across the Moon, or if a moonquake were to happen, you would be able to hear it in your spacesuit or in the air of a lunar habitat.
(However, the lunar dust itself would not have the cohesion to reliably transmit vibrations.)
There's no atmosphere on the Moon, and thus nothing for the sound to vibrate and travel through. That is why, on the Moon, you must either use a radio transmitter, or touch your helmets together so the vibration travels through them.
Since there is no air in space, there is nothing to carry sound waves and thus there is no sound on the moon.

Without a material substance, sound goes nowhere.
The most common material substance through which we most often hear sound
on Earth is the air around us, and there is no air on the moon.
Even if one astronaut on the moon were to sneak up behind another astronaut
and set off a firecracker right behind him, as an innocent joke to get a rise out of
him, the joke would bomb, because the second astronaut would hear nothing.

There is sound in space, there is just no sound to carry it. How you hear sounds is the shockwave of that sound is made, which collides with air molecules, which then collides with our eardrums. In a vacuum, there is no air to carry it, so it just stays there.

∙ 11y agosound needs a medium to travel. moon has no air no winds. hence sound cannnot travel
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes. However, it can't travel through the Moon's atmosphere to any perceptible degree, as the Moon's atmosphere is a pretty good vacuum.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThere is no sound on the moon. W/o atmosphere there's no way sound can travel.

Suppose you and your friend are on moon will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?
no you will not be able to hear that sound cause there is a vacuum on the moon as its outer space and sound needs a matter to travel
Is there activity on the moon?
no there is not activity on the moon
What carries the sound when you shout your warning to a friend 50 meters away?
The air carries the sound. If you shouted on the moon, nobody would hear you as there is no atmosphere
Does the moon have volcanoes but no volcanic activity?
Yes, the moon does have volcanoes, but they are practically dead. They have no volcanic activity.
The moon blocks radio signals sent from earth?
no You can even listen to the radio on earth. But there is no air to hear the music their though. (Sounds are passed through the air in sound waves)
Can you hear the sound of meteorite falling on moon?
we canot hear because sound travel in waves. on moon there is no atmosphere
Suppose you and your friend are on moon will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?
no you will not be able to hear that sound cause there is a vacuum on the moon as its outer space and sound needs a matter to travel
Why can we not hear anything on the moon?
on the moon there is no air sound travels through air
Why are two people on the moon are not able to hear each other?
material medium is necessory to propogation of sound .on the moon their is vacuum that is no air ,therefore sound can not be propogate on the moon.thus two people on the moon can not hear echo other.
Why you cannot hear any sound in moon?
Because it is in space, and their isnt really sound in space
Why you can't hear sound on moon?
because you're in outer space
Why is sound on earth?
Because we can hear it. The medium air can tranport the sound. In a vacuum like on the moon that is not possible.
Why would you not hear if the moon blew up?
Because there is no medium to transmit the sound.
Why can't you hear someone shouting from the moon?
Sound requires a medium such as air to travel through. There is no air on the moon or in the space between Earth and the moon, and thus nothing to carry the sound.
Why cant we hear each other on the moon?
The Moon has no atmosphere, only vacuum. There is nothing for the sound waves to travel in.
Can there be sound with no atmosphere?
Sound, unlike light, requires a medium to travel through. With no medium (atmosphere) there can be no sound. If, for instance, a meteor crashed on the moon, you would not hear it. If you were standing on the moon, you would feel it, because the shock waves travel through the medium of the moon's body, but you would not hear it.
Why cant you hear any sound on moon?
There is nothing to hear in space and on the moon you are too far away to hear anything from earth the scientific reason is that sound moves and bounces to our ears with gravity but because there is no gravity in space it is impossible for sounds to reach us, they simply float away
