How far can light travel?

If light (as in photons) were in a vacuum, it would travel forever in a given direction.In reality however, it is far more probable that light will experience disturbances (absorption, reflection, refraction, etc..) as it moves through space - thus, it's distance of travel is limited to some finite distance. I do not think that there is any good estimation for this realistic finite distance. Clearly, this finite distance depends on the situation of the light being transmitted, direction and regions of space through which it will travel.add Recent observations of distant red-shifted astronomical objects indicate that their light was first emitted about the time of the Big Bang. So forever is a fair approximation. [Multiplied by the speed of light of course.]

Why do astronauts use radio while talking to each other in outer space?

when they land , so they can communicate with each other. --- The term "Walkie Talkie" is a colloquialism which refers to a hand portable transceiver. Since every spacesuit is fitted with a hands-free transceiver then it is fair to say that they are always using one when suited up.


What type of media can sound travel through?

Because waves, such as sound, need to travel through a medium, whether it be water, air, etc. Since in empty space, there is no air, therefore there is no medium to travel in, so sound cannot travel.Sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel through. They do this by alternately compressing and rarifying the distanced between the atoms or molecules of the medium.
