Any sound waves use a medium to travel along (on Earth the medium is Air, Water or any Solid.
A Vacuum, like Space, does not contain any particles; therefore sound waves have no medium through which to travel and thus Sound will NOT Travel (or be heard).
More informationSound or Sound Waves, are mechanical energy, and require a mechanical medium to propagate (or travel). That means that the medium must behave or respond in some mechanical way to conduct sound. Air or any liquid or solid will respond mechanically to the compression and refraction of a Sound Wave.
In a vacuum, there is no Mechanical Medium and so Nothing to be compressed, so no sound will travel.
Because sound, unlike light, needs a medium, usually air. In a vacuum, there is no air.
Sounds cannot trasvel in a vacuum because they have no medium in which they can travel through.
Sound travel through matter, trough the interaction of the electrical force between particles.
Vacuum is per definition empty of matter, so there is nothing for a sound wave to propagate trough.
Sound relies on the movement of atoms to propagate.
Sound is simply the vibration of atoms in the air but a vacuum contains no atoms so there are no atoms to vibrate and sound cannot travel.
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.
Light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, where sound cannot travel as it requires a medium like air, water, or a solid to propagate. Light can also travel through transparent materials like glass or air, while sound is mostly blocked or absorbed by these materials.
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid material. In a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to propagate, so sound cannot travel through it.
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air or water. In a vacuum, there is a lack of molecules for sound waves to transmit through, so there is no medium to carry the sound. As a result, sound cannot travel through a vacuum and therefore cannot be heard.
Sound. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium such as air and can be heard by our ears.
No medium to carry the sound energy.
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.
There is no air for sound to travel through.
sound cant travel on an asteroid because it has no atmosphere. it could travel through it.
sound can't travel through a vacuum. or a place without air.
light can but sound cant as there is no air

there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or a solid material. In a vacuum, there is no medium for sound waves to propagate, so sound cannot travel through it.
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.
Sounds requires a medium to travel through. An example is air. You've also heard sound travel through water and solid objects like wood. In the past it was often thought that no medium exists in space. However, in current astronomy and astrophysics it is thought that dark matter is the medium by which sound can and does travel about space. Due to the atoms being so spread out though, the human ear would not be capable of detecting the sound waves.

sound energy require some kind of material to travel through and they cant move through a vaccum
