No air. Sound is vibration is something- most commonly air, but sometimes water, metal, etc. There is no air in outer space to be vibrated.

Sound waves cannot travel in outer space True or false?

no trust me there isn't don't make me go in to explaning it


Would sound waves traveling through the outer ear travel faster or slower than those traveling through the inner ear?

Sound waves would travel faster through the outer ear than through the inner ear. This is because the outer ear consists of less dense air, which allows sound waves to travel more quickly. In contrast, the inner ear is filled with fluid, which is denser and slows down the speed at which sound waves travel.


Suppose you and your friend are on moon will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?

No, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so you would not be able to hear any sound your friend makes on the moon. Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through, and the moon does not have an atmosphere like Earth.


If a satellite or spaceship explodes in outer space you can see the explostion but not hear it why?

Because sound needs a material medium to travel through, and can't go anywhere through the vacuum of space. Besides, even if it could, it would take sound ... moving at the speed of sound ... 874 thousand years to cover one light year of distance. We'd still be hanging around waiting to hear the supernova that was discovered in 1054 AD.


How would a drum be played on Earth sound different in outer space?

A drum played on Earth produces sound through vibrations in the air, which travel as sound waves. In outer space, where there is a near vacuum and no air to transmit those vibrations, the sound of the drum would not be heard at all. The drum's impact and vibration would still occur, but without a medium like air, the sound waves cannot propagate, making it silent in the vastness of space.

Could a huge sound speaker be made to push things around outer space?

No, because sound cannot travel in outer space.


What can't sound travel through and why?

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.


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

Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or solid surfaces, to travel through. In outer space, there is no medium for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot propagate in the vacuum of space.


Why a war in outer space will be a quiet affair?

Because space has no air so sound cannot be heard as it cannot travel, that is also why you cannot scream in space :) <3 :P *_*


Is sound in outerspace?

no trust me there isn't don't make me go in to explaning it


What is the velocity of sound in space?

Sound requires the physical compression and expansion of molecules to be transmitted, it is not electromagnetic energy like light and microwaves. It therefore cannot be transmitted through a vacuum so it cannot have a velocity in space


Why Can't Sound Waves Travel In Outter Space?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid object. In outer space, there is a lack of air or any other medium for sound to propagate. Therefore, sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space.


Will be possible to recollect sound waves that has gone to the universe?

Sound waves do not leave the planet. They cannot travel in the vacuum of outer space


Is it possible to hear an explosion in outer space?

No, sound cannot travel in the vacuum of outer space because it requires a medium, such as air, to propagate. Explosions in space can still release energy in the form of light and radiation, but they would not produce any sound.


Can you hear any sounds in space?

In space, sound does not travel because it is a vacuum, meaning there are no molecules to carry sound waves. Astronauts can communicate using radio transmissions inside their spacecraft, but they cannot hear sound like we do on Earth as there is no medium for sound to travel through in outer space.


Where does sound not travel?

outer space because you need some kind of physical material for sound to travel through and there's none of that in space


How many ways does sound travel?

Sound can travel through air, liquids like water, and solids like walls and floors. Sound waves can also travel through gases, such as carbon dioxide and helium. In a vacuum, however, such as outer space, sound cannot travel because there are no molecules to carry the sound waves.
