Answer 1

Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.

Explanation: Sound is a mechanical wave that requires a material medium (air, water, solid) to propagate, so it cannot travel through the vacuum between Earth and the Moon. Light (electromagnetic waves) does not need a medium and can travel through vacuum.
