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

Solution

Sound waves need a medium to travel. As there is no atmosphere or medium on the moon, that's why no sound can be heard on the moon. Astronauts use radio waves while talking to one another on the surface of the moon.
