No, what we call sound are vibrations that travel through and are made up of air. Just like waves on the ocean. The moon has no atmosphere so there is no "sound".

Is it possible to hear stuff from the moon and why?

No, it is not possible to hear sounds from the Moon because sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. The Moon has no atmosphere, meaning there are no air molecules to transmit sound waves. Therefore, any sounds made on the Moon cannot be heard by observers either on the Moon or on Earth.


Why can't sounds be heard on the moon?

Sound can't be heard on the moon because sound need a medium to travel and particles to collide each other in order to travel. since in a vaccum (space) you do not have air, meaning no particles, sound can't be heard on the moon.


Can we hear the sound on the moon?

No, we cannot hear sound on the Moon because sound requires a medium, like air, to travel through. The Moon has no atmosphere, which means there are no air molecules to carry sound waves. Consequently, any sounds produced on the Moon would not be audible to human ears.


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


Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?

Yes, sound can travel in the atmosphere of the moon, but it would be very different from sound travel on Earth due to the moon's thin atmosphere. Sound waves would propagate through the moon's atmosphere much slower and with less intensity than on Earth. Additionally, the lack of air molecules on the moon means that sound would not be able to travel very far.

The moon blocks radio signals sent from earth?

The moon does not block radio signals sent from Earth, but it can cause disruptions in the signals due to its influence on the Earth's ionosphere. Radio waves can still reach the moon and be reflected back to Earth. NASA and other organizations have successfully sent signals to spacecraft on the moon and beyond.

Speed of sound from earth to moon?

For sound to travel, a certain amount of molecules per unit of space are required. In space (that is, outside the atmosphere) -specifically the space between the Earth and the moon- this threshold is not met, so there is no sound. The answer to this question is "Not Applicable."


What phase does the moon disappear?

The moon will disappear when it is in the new moon phase, as ironic as that sounds.


If a metorite crashed onto the moon would you be able to hear it on earth?

No, you would not be able to hear a meteorite crashing onto the moon from Earth. Sound requires a medium, like air or water, to travel through, and space is a vacuum with no air. Therefore, any sounds produced by the impact would not propagate to Earth. Additionally, the distance between the Earth and the Moon—about 238,855 miles—would further diminish any potential auditory effects even if sound could travel through space.


Will sound travel faster or slower on moon than on earth?

Sound will travel slower on the moon than on Earth. This is because the moon's lack of atmosphere results in sound waves traveling at a slower pace due to the reduced medium through which they can propagate.


Can dogs hear the sound of the moon?

No. Sound needs something to travel through, air or a solid structure. There's a fair bit of nothing between the Moon and the Earth, so there's nothing from the Moon that can be heard on Earth by anyone.


Would you rather live on Earth or the Moon?

Earth, definitely. No air on the moon, no trees, no animals, no smells, no sounds, no music, no food - nothing but rocks and powder.
