Because waves, such as sound, need to travel through a medium, whether it be water, air, etc. Since in empty space, there is no air, therefore there is no medium to travel in, so sound cannot travel.
Sound waves require a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel through. They do this by alternately compressing and rarifying the distanced between the atoms or molecules of the medium.
Sound travels through brick at the speed of 3650 meters per second. Sound is a mechanical wave that can travel through many different types of media, such as water, cork, gold, and glass.
No, sound is not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound is actually a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves like light do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Sound waves travel fastest through solids because the particles are closest together, allowing the waves to propagate more efficiently.
Sound is a type of mechanical wave, specifically a longitudinal wave that travels through a medium such as air, water, or solids. It consists of compressions and rarefactions that create variations in air pressure which are perceived by our ears as sound.
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium to travel through, allowing them to propagate through the vacuum of space. In contrast, sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy and vibrations. Space is a vacuum, lacking the necessary medium, which is why sound waves cannot travel through it.

sound waves can not travel through space since they use the air around us to move.
longitudinal wave formed due to compressions and rarefractions of media through which sound is propogating
Sound waves travel fastest through solids because the particles are closest together, allowing the waves to propagate more efficiently.
