Question: In space, if you yell at the person right next to you, can they hear it?

( Back )

Answer #1:

no there is no sound at all in space

Answer #2:

Nope, there isn't any air for the sound waves to travel to the persons ear.

Answer #3:

unless you form a seal and increase the pressure, it is unlikely. keep in mind that space has a density approaching 1 atom per cc or less. if you open your mouth, the air would immediately diffuse away.

let's just hope you don't see any green aliens because in space, nobody really can hear you scream.

Answer #4:

No, sound needs matter to pass through, but in space, there is no matter (air) to pass through, so sound does not exist.

Answer #5:

how would you scream if you had no air in your lungs

Answer #6:

No, because there is no matter for the sound waves to pass through. That's why astronauts use little hearing devices in their suits, so that they can speak to each other (beside the fact that their faces would swell if exposed to space).

Answer #7:

the eardrum is not strong enough to withstand the negative pressure of a full vacuum... a persons unprotected ear would cause explosive decompression... your eardrum would rupture and if the volume of blood did not immediately freeze solid, your lungs would basically be sucked out through your ear canal.

Answer #8:

If they cant hear you ask them to adjust the volume on their radio receiver,if they are not wearing a spacesuit then hearing the person next to them is not going to be their biggest problem

Answer #9:

That's assuming the other person wants to hear what you are saying...
