Answer 1

The correct statement is: Light can travel from Earth to the moon, but not sound.

Sound requires a medium (such as air or water) to travel, and since there is a vacuum between the Earth and the Moon, sound cannot travel through it. In contrast, light waves can travel through a vacuum, so they can travel from Earth to the Moon.
