Gravitational waves move at the speed of light in space, which is about 186,282 miles per second.
Yes, waves are a way in which energy is transferred through space. Different types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves or seismic waves, carry energy from one place to another without the need for a medium.
No, sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, so they cannot move through the vacuum of space where there is no air or other material. In space, sound waves cannot propagate because there is no medium to carry the vibrations.
Light waves do, but sound waves cannot, because in space is no medium to carry the vibration. Radio, TV and others can travel in space also.
Electromagnetic energy is created when charged particles move or accelerate. This movement or acceleration creates changing electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic waves. Examples include sunlight, radio waves, and X-rays.
Space tells matter how to move through the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, and it influences the motion of matter by pulling objects towards each other. This force of gravity is what governs the movement of planets, stars, and other celestial bodies in space.

Most likely gravity believe it or not, the sound waves travel differently :)
According to modern science, it seems that nothing can move faster than light in a vacuum. However, some things can move as fast as light (or electromagnetic waves). Specifically, gravity waves (carried by hypothetical gravitons) are also expected to move at the speed of light. Neutrinos move very, very close to the speed of light, so do some of the particles from outer space known as "cosmic rays".
Yes, they do. Sound waves move fastest through solids, less fast through liquids, and slowest through gasses. This is because the molecules of solids are closer together, while those of gasses are further apart, creating more space that the waves must jump to move.
The space shuttle needs to go fast in order to reach orbit around the Earth. By going fast, the shuttle can overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and enter into a stable orbit where it remains in space. This speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a continuous state of freefall around the Earth.
The question has two small problems: #1). There's plenty of gravity in space. #2). Gravity is not necessary for something to move. Other than that, it's a fine question.
Sound waves move very fast
the gravity moves the Earth in a circle
Light waves, unlike sound, do not require a medium.
Astronauts can perform their space walk and move around as if nothing is happening while the space station is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, because there is no gravity. This keeps them from feeling the fast speed.

Radio waves are often referred to as space waves because they have the ability to move through space. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
