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)

Can the astronauts talk on the surface of moon as on the earth?

Yes, astronauts can communicate with each other on the surface of the moon using radio communication devices in their space suits or spacecraft. The lack of atmosphere on the moon means that sound waves cannot travel, so they rely on technology for communication.


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 did the astronauts have to use radios on the moon?

Astronauts on the moon used radios to communicate with mission control and other astronauts. The distance to Earth was too great for them to communicate in real time without radios. Additionally, the space suits and helmets they wore made it difficult to communicate verbally with each other.


Can we talk to another person on the moon?

Communication between Earth and the moon is possible using radio waves, but real-time conversations have a delay of about 1.3 seconds each way due to the distance. Additionally, astronauts on the moon can communicate with each other using radio technology.


Why did astronauts use radios to talk on the moon?

There are many reasons, but significant ones are related to available atmosphere. The astronauts must stay in their space suits to get breathable air. Denser air is better for the transmition of sound. So it is hard to get sound to go through the space suit and then hard to get it to go through the low density atmosphere of the moon. Radios are easier and can go much farther.

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.

Why is necessary to use a radio when people talk to each other while on the surface of the moon?

Because there is no oxygen on the moon, so you can't talk.

How can you talk on the moon?

Sound cannot travel in the vacuum of space because there is no air or medium for the sound waves to travel through. However, astronauts can communicate on the moon using radio systems and equipment inside their helmets that allow them to hear each other.


Which president was the first to talk to a man on the moom?

Nixon was the one who talked to the astronauts who had landed on the moon for the first time.


Why can astronauts hear on moon if they come close to each other so that their helmets touch?

Normally, to communicate in space, astronauts need radios. This is because sound (in this case, speech) requires a medium (such as air) to move through. In space, since there is no air, astronauts cannot talk to one another directly. However, in your case, the astronauts may converse because their helmets are touching - thus giving the sound waves a medium to move through - the helmets.


Why when two men talk in the moon cannot hear each other?

Sound is a compression/rarefaction wave in a material, such as air. There is no such thing on the moon.
