Sound is a vibration, like heat, it hits molecules and vibrates them and this vibrates the eardrums. When there are no molecules, however, there is no means of the vibrations travelling through the molecules and the sound doesn't transfer.
Sound is the propagation of pressure waves. Pressure is created by atoms bumping into or pulling on other atoms thereby transferring momentum to their neighbors. If there is no matter present, there are no atoms to bump and pull on each other.
No they can travel through earth and water
Earthquakes are sound waves or vibrations just coming from rocks shifting
And someone can easily clap or stomp to make a noise under water and you will hear or feel it again they are just vibrations that conduct a noise according to the mass and material of the object

A sound wave can travel through air, water or any other liquid or solid matter. The distance the wave can travel is dependent on the medium the sound wave has to go through. Temperature and atmospheric pressure can also have an effect
No, because water {and many more} can make sound waves travel because when you're underwater you can hear someone talking to you. -GC<3
No. Sound is vibration, and vibration can travel through almost any medium, but vacuum.
Sound waves can travel through gases (air), liquids, and solids. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
Yes sound waves can make a sound in the air
sound waves bounce off of walls. they need air to travel.
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
No. Sound waves must travel through a medium, such as air, liquid, or a solid.
Radio waves travel through empty space because they are electromagnetic waves, whereas sound is a wave that must travel through air.
Sound (and vibration) waves may only travel in some medium. Such as air, metal and so on. They cannot travel in a vacuum.

No. They travel through water and solid objects also.
since sound needs a medium for its propagation , it requires air particles to travel along with its waves.
In air, light waves travel about 871 thousand times faster than sound waves.
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
No. Sound waves must travel through a medium, such as air, liquid, or a solid.
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
If you mean sound waves, the only type of sound waves that can travel through air (or any gas, for that matter) is longitudinal waves.
Sound travels because of the sound waves.
