Sound waves require a medium to travel through to propagate from point A to point B. In space there is no such medium, so sound does not travel in space.

Why can't sound waves be used to measure the distance between the earth and moon?

Sound waves cannot be used to measure the distance between the Earth and the Moon because sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air or water, and there is no medium in space for sound to travel through between the Earth and the Moon. In the vacuum of space, electromagnetic waves like radar or laser pulses are used to measure such distances.


Why is it impossible for sound to travel through outer space?

Does sound travel outside the earths atmosphere in space?

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.
