Question

Why is there no sound in space?

Answer 1

Sound does not travel at all in space. The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. ... Radio is a form of electromagnetic radiation just like light and can therefore travel through the vacuum of space just fine.

Answer 5

Sound in order to actually make yk.... sound, it needs objects to bounce off of and directed towards our ears, sound is also the movement of air that our ears recognize as sound, but there is no air in space, thus there is no sounds, and there is also no objects to bounce the sound off of, also stating no sound. This is also how sonar works.


and no i do not have sources to site, this is just my knowledge

Answer 6

Sound is essentially just a bunch of vibrations, and these vibrations need a medium to travel through. Mediums can be anything from water, bricks, or air. These are spread out in space, so sound can't travel through them. That's the simplest way I can put this.
