Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, like air or water, to propagate. Since the moon is devoid of any atmosphere, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, which is why we wouldn't be able to hear anything on the moon.
Because there is no air to carry it to you. There is no "medium" on the moon, the sound does not travel since to travel the sound we must need a ghost.
But there is partial vacume and not completely devoid therefore sound can partially travel for a very short distance thus you can hear noise carried through through ground if you have your space helmet pressed against it.
Normally, sound is trasmitted by vibrations in the air. Since the Moon has no atmosphere, sounds have no way to propagate.
However, if you were to kneel down in your spacesuit and press your helmet to the ground - the way that cowboys and Indians do in the western movies - the rock surface of the Moon would carry the mechanical vibrations, which could be heard as a sound. So if a vehicle were rolling across the Moon, or if a moonquake were to happen, you would be able to hear it in your spacesuit or in the air of a lunar habitat.
(However, the lunar dust itself would not have the cohesion to reliably transmit vibrations.)
There's no atmosphere on the Moon, and thus nothing for the sound to vibrate and travel through. That is why, on the Moon, you must either use a radio transmitter, or touch your helmets together so the vibration travels through them.
Since there is no air in space, there is nothing to carry sound waves and thus there is no sound on the moon.
Because sound needs a material substance to travel through from place to place.
Without a material substance, sound goes nowhere.
The most common material substance through which we most often hear sound
on Earth is the air around us, and there is no air on the moon.
Even if one astronaut on the moon were to sneak up behind another astronaut
and set off a firecracker right behind him, as an innocent joke to get a rise out of
him, the joke would bomb, because the second astronaut would hear nothing.
There is sound in space, there is just no sound to carry it. How you hear sounds is the shockwave of that sound is made, which collides with air molecules, which then collides with our eardrums. In a vacuum, there is no air to carry it, so it just stays there.
sound needs a medium to travel. moon has no air no winds. hence sound cannnot travel
Yes. However, it can't travel through the Moon's atmosphere to any perceptible degree, as the Moon's atmosphere is a pretty good 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.
Is there activity on the moon?
no there is not activity on the moon
What carries the sound when you shout your warning to a friend 50 meters away?
The air carries the sound. If you shouted on the moon, nobody would hear you as there is no atmosphere
Does the moon have volcanoes but no volcanic activity?
Yes, the moon does have volcanoes, but they are practically dead. They have no volcanic activity.
Describe why you could not hear someone talk if you were both on the surface of the moon?
Sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so you would not be able to hear someone talking on the moon's surface. There is no medium, such as air, for the sound waves to travel through to reach your ears.
Can you hear the sound of meteorite falling on moon?
we canot hear because sound travel in waves. on moon there is no atmosphere
Why can we not hear anything on the moon?
on the moon there is no air sound travels through air
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.
What does the moon sound like?
The moon does not make any sound as there is no medium for sound to travel in space. Any sound you hear associated with the moon in media or movies is purely fictional.
Why you cannot hear any sound in moon?
Because it is in space, and their isnt really sound in space
Why you can't hear sound on moon?
because you're in outer space
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.
Why would you not hear if the moon blew up?
Because there is no medium to transmit the sound.
Why can't you hear someone shouting from the moon?
Sound requires a medium such as air to travel through. There is no air on the moon or in the space between Earth and the moon, and thus nothing to carry the sound.
Why cant we hear each other on the moon?
The Moon has no atmosphere, only vacuum. There is nothing for the sound waves to travel in.
Would astronauts be able to hear an explosion on the moon?
No, astronauts would not be able to hear an explosion on the moon because there is no atmosphere to transmit sound waves. Sound requires a medium like air to travel through, and since the moon is airless, there would be no way for sound to propagate and reach the astronauts' ears.
Why cant you hear any sound on moon?
There is nothing to hear in space and on the moon you are too far away to hear anything from earth the scientific reason is that sound moves and bounces to our ears with gravity but because there is no gravity in space it is impossible for sounds to reach us, they simply float away
