Since the moon has no atmosphere sound will not travel. An astronaut would need to use a radio to talk to another even if they were only a few feet apart.

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.
