Can you hear the sound of a meteorite falling on moon from earth?

No. Sound won't travel through empty space.There has to be a medium of some kind to conduct sound. Air or something else.


If a meteorite crashed on the moon would you beable to hear it on earth?

no because sound does not exist in space


Would you be able to hear a meteorite if it crashed on the moon from earth?

No you would not be able to hear a meteorite hit the moon because in order to hear sound, sound waves must travel through some kind of physical material, which we call the 'medium'. The medium we're most accustomed to is air, but sound also travels quite well through wood, metal, rock, etc. Space contains no air and no other material at all, so there's no medium that sound waves can travel through. For the same reason, you couldn't hear a meteorite landing on the moon even if you were standing right next to it on the moon. Also, if an average meteorite hits the Earth more than a few miles from where you're standing, you can't hear that either.

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.

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.

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.
