Why are we unable to hear sound in outer space?

There is no sound in outer space because space is a vacuum. Sound needs matter to travel through and vibrate in order for us to hear it. Air vibrates in our ears to make us hear sound. Since space has no air we wouldn't be able to hear anything.


Suppose you and your friend are on moon will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?

No, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so you would not be able to hear any sound your friend makes on the moon. Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through, and the moon does not have an atmosphere like Earth.


Why is sound not able to travel in a vacuum?

Sound being a longitudinal mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. In a vacuum (like the outer space), there is no matter to act as the medium and thus sound waves can not propagate.

Why can light travel through outer space but sound cannot?

Sound requires something to vibrate in order to make itself heard. Space is a vacuum, which has no air, water, earth, etc. So there is nothing there to vibrate to make the sound carry from the source of the sound to the listener's ear. Light requires no such medium in order to get from point a to point b.

Which gases does sound travel through?

Sound can travel as long as there is something for it to travel through. This could be a gas (such as air), a liquid (such as water) or a solid (such as a metal). In outer space there is no air for the sound to travel though, so astronauts can not talk with each other unless they use a radio. Radio waves and light waves can travel through space, that is why we are able to receive light from the sun. Source: www.examville.com
