Is there anywhere in our solar system or universe that sound can travel other than earth?
Question:
Answer:
Sound needs a medium to travel in such as air. There is no such medium in space. The myth of sound in space has been promulgated by Hollywood in movies and tv: rocket engines firing and explosions would have little impact on the audience if there was no sound. A little anecdote: Harlan
Ellison, one of our preeminent modern day science fiction authors, is the creative consultant for the tv how "Babylon 5", and has declared publicly that he will continue in that capacity only as long as we do not hear any explosions in outer space!
yes, everywhere
No. In space no one can hear you fart.
Outerspace.
Sound can travel there. Basically anywhere in the universe.
I say outerspace because they've been able to pick up some sounds from the big bang and that's basically how they mapped out the big bang.
Yes, I believe sound can travel anywhere it exists.
yes every where that there is mass. if there is no mass there is no sound.
Well, you did say our solar system OR universe and so the only answer that anyone can give you is: Unknown...No person of this planet has ever actually ventured past the moon and been able to test if sound can exist elsewhere in person.So, everyone is going to have a theory and maybe these theories are right.But until those theories are tested by visting every planet and every inch of space, those theories are untested and unproven beyond a shadow of a doubt.But again, there is enough science that would suggest that we can answer that question in theory.
Inside any of the other planets where there is air mass.
Sound can travel through gases and solids, but not empty space, so sound can travel on all the planets and even asteroids. Forget asbout the Big Bang sound. That was a conversion of heat waves to sound waves. The sound itself did not travel through space. There are gas clouds in space through which sound might travel. It depends on how dense the gas really is. And of course sound can travel through the frame and structure, as well as the air, in a spaceship.
It can travel wherever there's a medium. And since space is not a complete vacuum (although close), it is possible, but it would not carry very well or very far.
Sound can only be transmitted through a substance such as an atmosphere... through liquid and through solids... there is no sound in space since it is a vacuum. So anywhere in the universe where there are the three states of matter, you will experience sound conduction since it is a form of kinetic energy.
Sound is made by vibrations. Molecules hit one another like dominos and come right back. There are no molecules in empty space, but everywhere else in the universe (nebulae, planets w/ atmosphere, stars) Molecules are there and can vibrate. I guess if you made a very very very very loud noise you could send a molecule to another planet, but it is unlikely.
sound can travel anywhere. it just isn't as fast as light.
Sound is pressure waves in a material. So anywhere there is an atmosphere, it will be possible to have sound waves. Titan, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, etc. There has also been an extensive study of vibrations of the sun, which are essentially sound waves covering the whole sun (very large wavelength). Similar vibrations are possible on other stars. Finally, in various nebulae it is possible to have pressure waves (hence technically sound).
anyplace that has an atmosphere
