Here's why:
* Electromagnetic Radiation: Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. This means they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space.
* Vacuum Propagation: Unlike sound waves, which require a medium like air or water to travel, electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum, such as the space between stars.
* Speed of Light: Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum.
Therefore, radio waves can travel vast distances through space without needing any matter to carry them.
