Can you hear footsteps on the moon?

Sound is a mechanical wave and requires a medium to travel; there is no medium on the moon. No, we cannot hear the sound of our own footsteps because the vibrations of sound waves from the footsteps must travel through our body to reach our ears. By that time however, the sound waves diminish in magnitude.

How does sound move on the moon?

Due to the absence of atmosphere on the moon, there are no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound forward. Thus, we can say that the sound waves cannot travel on the moon and we cannot hear a sound on the moon.

What happens when you walk on the moon?

Since the Moon is smaller, and has much less mass, it pulls with less gravity. In fact, if you could stand on the surface of the Moon, you would experience only 17\% the force of gravity that you would experience on Earth. Gravity on the Moon is much less.

Can you hear sound in space?

Space is a vacuum — so it generally doesn’t carry sound waves like air does here on Earth (though some sounds do exist in outer space, we just can’t hear them).

Can we hear someone speak on the moon?

NO, we can not hear sound on moon because there is no atmosphere on moon so sound need a medium to travel but there is no atmosphere.

Why can’t astronauts whistle on the moon?

Because there is nothing out in space (like an atmosphere), the sound waves from one astronaut’s whistling can’t travel over to the other astronaut’s ears. That’s why the astronauts use radios to communicate—even if they’re floating in space right next to each other!

What does the moon feel like to touch?

What did it feel like to walk on the moon? The surface of the moon is like nothing here on Earth! It’s totally lacking any evidence of life. It has lots of fine, talcum-powderlike dust mixed with a complete variety of pebbles, rocks, and boulders.
