Answer:

Sound does not travel at all in space. The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. ... Radio is a form of electromagnetic radiation just like light and can therefore travel through the vacuum of space just fine
