Sound, unlike light, requires a medium to travel through. With no medium (atmosphere) there can be no sound. If, for instance, a meteor crashed on the moon, you would not hear it. If you were standing on the moon, you would feel it, because the shock waves travel through the medium of the moon's body, but you would not hear it.

Why was sound invented?
Sound is a natural phenomenon. It is pressure waves in the air and was not invented. Sound has existed at least since the formation of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the velocity of sound at moon surface?
It is 0. The moon does not have an atmosphere and therefore there is no medium through which sound can propagate.
What does a high frequency of vibrations produce?
Heat, light and, if in an atmosphere, sound.
Why cant you hear each other in space?
Sound is a wave in a fluid (gas or liquid). There is no atmosphere in space, so there is no sound.
When was the sound barrier broken in the air?
A sonic boom is created, basically a hole in the atmosphere
Does sound travel in the moons atmosphere?
Sound would travel in the moon's atmosphere if the moon had any atmosphere, but since it hasn't, it doesn't.
Can a sound travel without atmosphere?
Sound can travel through water, metal, rock and air, so the atmosphere isn't strictly needed for sound transmission.
Without atmosphere would there be sound?
No
Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?
The moon's atmosphere is negligible. So, it is as good as saying that the moon does not have an atmosphere.Hence, sound does not travel through it.
What must sound have in order to travel?
An atmosphere. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
How does air affect the earths atmosphere?
I do not mean to sound rude or patronising but air IS the atmosphere.
How does air affects the earths atmosphere?
I do not mean to sound rude or patronising but air IS the atmosphere.
How is SOUND affected by the moons atmosphere?
PLUH
What particles are in the Moon's atmosphere to stop sound?
The moon has no atmosphere at all. That's why sound won't travel there. If there were anyatmosphere ... especially one with particles in it ... then sound could move around just fine.
Can there be sound without atmoshpere?
without the atmosphere the will stay on earth and without air there is no sound
What does moon sound like?
NOTHING there is no atmosphere on the moon therefore sound cannot travel
When a tree falls can sound waves travel?
Sound waves travel through matter. Our atmosphere is a mixture of gases which is a form of matter. Sound waves will travel through our atmosphere, even if there is no human ear to receive it.
