There is no sound in space. Sound is a wave of energy passing through matter that we can hear, and in space, there is no matter for the sound to pass through, or at least the gasses that are there aren't close enough together.

How fast would the speed of sound be if you could hear sound in space?

Well, we know that in any material medium, the speed of sound increases along with the density of the medium. The more dense the medium, the higher the speed of sound, and the less dense the medium, the lower the speed of sound. All of this points in the direction that as the density of the medium tends toward zero, the speed of sound in it also tends toward zero. So I guess in space, where the density of material stuff is next to zero, we would expect that the speed of sound would also be next to zero. But consider this: We know that you can't hear sound in space. Since you have already made up a pretend condition for your question, saying that you can hear sound in space, why don't you go ahead and make up a speed too; whatever pleases you.


Why do objects travel at the same speed in space?

Objects in space travel at the same speed because there is no air resistance or friction to slow them down. Once an object is in motion in space, it will continue moving at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.


Where is the greatest linear speed on a record?

The greatest linear speed on a record is at its outer edge or circumference. As the record spins, the outer edge has to cover a larger distance in the same amount of time compared to the inner edge, resulting in a greater linear speed.


How fast are ultrasonic sound waves?

Ultrasonic sound waves travel at the same speed as lower frequency sound waves. The medium determines the speed at which a sound wave, which is mechanical energy, can travel. Sound waves travel faster in liquids than in a gas (like air), and travel faster still in solids. The speed at which a sound wave travels is generally independent of the frequency of that sound.

How do magnets work in outer space?

In outer space, magnets work the same way as they do on Earth. They create a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnetic objects. This is because the movement of charged particles in space generates magnetic fields, which can interact with magnetic materials.

Do speed and them have the same vowel sound?

No. "Speed" and "theme" have the same sound (long E or EE). The words "sped" and "them" have the same sound (short E).


Are The speeds of X rays and radio waves in outer space are different?

No. In vacuum, all electromagnertic waves have the same speed.


If two objects with the same mass are dropped from outer space will they fall at the same time?

yes, outer space has no air, so u could drop a 100 pound weight and a 1000 pound weight at the same time and they would still fall at the same speed. (kewl, huh?) :)

Is outer space and the universe the same?

Not quite; outer space means space beyond the Earth's atmosphere. The universe includes everything (including the Earth) - so you and I live in the universe, but not in outer space.


Is outer space and sky the same?

No. The sky includes areas well within Earth's atmosphere, which are not considered part of outer space.
