No. Sound is simply vibrations of particles that travel in a sort of "wave" motion. Since there is no medium (particles of matter) in space, it is not possible for there to be sound.Sound waves require a medium to travel through. They travel by knocking particles into other particles, causing a vibration to be transmitted.As outer-space is a vacuum, there is no matter present; this means that there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. Therefore, sound cannot travel in space.
P-waves, or primary waves, can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are compressional waves, meaning they cause particles in the material to move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. This ability to move through various states of matter is a key characteristic that distinguishes P-waves from S-waves, which can only travel through solids.
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
Primary waves can travel through liquid and solids at certain speeds but some quakes can not travel through water.
Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.

P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.
through matter
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Through waves
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
can travel through matter
NO some waves like sound require matter to travel whereas light waves can travel in vacuum.
Sound waves can travel through any matter- liquid, gas or solids. The denser the matter, the faster the sound travels. It cannot travel through vacuum- a vacuum is an absence of matter.
