neither sound waves nor light waves

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

light waves, but not sound waves

Sound waves require a medium (like air or water) to travel through, and since space is a vacuum, sound cannot propagate through it. However, light waves (electromagnetic waves) can travel through the vacuum of space and can be observed on Earth.
