Does sound travel up or down in a vacuum?

Sound does not travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is no material for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot travel up or down in a vacuum.

What kind of noise does the sun make?

The sun is situated in outer space, which is a vacuum. Sound does not travel through a vacuum, so from where we sit, the sun is silent. It makes no noise. If you (impossibly) were sitting on the sun, it would be very noisy indeed, with enormous pressures and continual explosions like Hydrogen bombs. Your ears would be destroyed in microseconds by the intensity of the noise. The sun does make a lot of a different kind of noise. This is electronic noise. The sun makes noise across the whole radio frequency spectrum, which can be picked up on radios.

What is it that sound cannot travel through?

Sound can travel through any medium. If you remove the medium you would end up with a vacuum. It is in vacuums that sound cannot travel as it needs a medium to travel (it travels as a compression wave or shear wave). Space is almost a perfect vacuum so sound is unable to travel through space.


Do particles in the atmosphere slow down either the speed of light or radio waves as they travel outward into the universe?

Light and radio waves travel slower through air than they do through space or vacuum. But as soon as they leave the atmosphere and get into space or vacuum, they speed up to 299,792,458 meters per second.


Is a vacuum still a vacuum if there are electromagnetic waves in the vacuum?

Yes, a vacuum is still a vacuum if electromagnetic waves are present. A vacuum is an area with no matter in it. We know that matter is anything which has mass and takes up space. Electromagnetic waves have no mass, and certianly take up no space. They're energy.
