Answer 1

In space noone can hear you scream.....

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no sound in space. Sound, like light or heat, is a wave. However, one major distinction is that, unlike light or heat (radiation), sound needs a medium to travel. Sounds require the presence of molecules or particles to travel from one region to another.
