If you clap your hands in the vacuum of space what happens to the energy that would have went into sound when clapping on Earth?

That's a neat question.

The sound of the clap comes from work being done on air. With no air, the work is not done, and sound does not happen.

Essentially, there is no *"CLAP"* sound in space, and in exchange, clapping is very very slightly easier.
