Sound is produced when a certain thing causes the gas, water, or solid around your ear to vibrate, which in turn, is then received by the ear drum. When you are in a vacuum, there is no gas, liquid, or solid that sound is able to travel by.

Why can't you hear any sound from space?

Space is a Vacuum, consequently there are no atoms/particles to pass on the vibration a sound makes, so the sound cannot travel, and this is because space is a Vacuum.


Suppose you and your friend are on moon will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?

No, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so you would not be able to hear any sound your friend makes on the moon. Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through, and the moon does not have an atmosphere like Earth.


Do sound can hear in vaccum?

If the question is does sound travel in a vacuum. I believe the answer is no.


Can you hear in a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so no one would be able to hear anything in a vacuum.

Can you hear anything in outer space?

No, sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Astronauts can hear inside their spacecrafts where there is air, but they cannot hear anything outside in the vacuum of space.


What is a vacuum and why can't you hear things in a vacuum?

A vacuum is a space completely devoid of matter, including air particles. Sound needs a medium, such as air, to travel through. Without particles to transmit the sound waves, sound cannot be heard in a vacuum.


Why is sound on earth?

Because we can hear it. The medium air can tranport the sound. In a vacuum like on the moon that is not possible.
