The correct statement is: **Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.**
Sound requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel through, and since the vacuum of space does not contain any air or other medium, sound cannot travel from Earth to the moon. In contrast, light is an electromagnetic wave and can travel through a vacuum, so it can travel from Earth to the moon.
