Question

While watching a popular space-based science fiction movie, space

vehicles loudly shoot each other with lasers and explode with a booming
sound. Students of science know that sound does not travel through
space and these movie scenes showing space sounds are factually
incorrect. Why are there no sounds in space?

Answer 1

Answer: There is no air.

Explanation:

Because there is no air in space, there is no way for air to travel in space.

Air needs to push on your eardrums or air in general to move through space when there is no air your eardrums won’t move from the air making it quiet.

Answer 2

Sound waves required a medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

In space, there is only vacuum hence no any medium for sound wave travel.

Since sound waves are mechanical waves, they require a material medium such as air, hence no sound transmission.
