Does space have sound

No, space is a vacuum and therefore does not have a medium for sound to travel through. Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, in order to be heard. In the vacuum of space, sound waves cannot travel and therefore, sound cannot be heard.
Space has air, no?
Space is mostly a vacuum, meaning it is empty of air or any other matter. While our atmosphere extends a certain distance from Earth, space beyond that is essentially a vacuum with very low density of particles. This lack of medium means that sound waves cannot travel through space and thus, humans cannot hear sound in outer space.
Well, does anyone have an idea of what it smells like in space?
Some astronauts have reported that space has a distinct smell when they return from spacewalks. They have described it as a metallic, burnt smell that lingers on their spacesuits after being exposed to the vacuum of space. The exact cause of this smell is not completely understood, but it could be due to the reaction of chemicals in the spacesuit materials to the harsh conditions of space. However, since space is a vacuum and lacks a medium for scent molecules to travel through, humans cannot smell anything directly in space itself.
Oh, ok. Thank you! I'm gonna take a break for now.
