Question
Why cannot a sound heard on the moon? How do astronauts talk to one another on the surface of moon?
✓

Answer

Sound cannot be heard on the surface of moon because there is no air on the moon to carry the sound waves. Astronauts talk to one another on the surface of moon through wireless sets using radio waves. This is because radio waves can travel even through vacuum though sound waves cannot travel through vacuum.
