- There is no star near mars.
- If there was, and it did explode, then you would not be alive to see it, let alone hear it.
- Sound cannot travel in a vacuum, so although you may see it, you would not hear it.

Does the speed of sound depend on whether it is made by an airplane or person snapping their fingers?
No, but the speed of sound can be changed by the Doppler effect. Such that if the plane is coming towards you it will reach you faster then if it was traveling away from you. Same with the snapping, if a person was coming towards you it would reach you faster, if moving away would reach you slower.
If lighting strikes 3km away from me how long does it take for the light to reach to reach me?
99 ten millionths of a second. It would take sound 8.85 seconds.
How long would it take to reach the sun at the speed of sound?
Technically speaking this would be impossible because there is nothing to move sound through in space but if the sound would move the same speed it does in room temperature air, it would take about 150,000,000,000 / 340 = 441176000 seconds or about 5106 days.
How long will it take sound waves to reach you if the source is 40 kilometers away?
The speed of sound waves in air is approximately 343 meters per second. To calculate the time it takes for the sound waves to reach you, divide the distance by the speed. In this case, it would take approximately 116.8 seconds or about 1 minute and 57 seconds for the sound waves to reach you.
What would be the effect on the loudness of sounds if you held the mouthpiece of a megaphone to your ear?
Sounds would reach your ear, but sound all distorted. Like holding a seashell to your ear. So not much effect.
Could you hear an acoustic guitar in space?
No "space" is mostly a vacuum. No sound is transmitted in a vacuum. You would not hear a starship exploding either!
How long would it take sound waves to reach Pluto?
Sound waves can't travel through space.
Why does your aquarium keep exploding randomly?
One would imagine that after exploding once it would be destroyed. How can it explode more than once?
How long would it take gamma rays from an exploding star to reach earth?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.
How would an spaceship sound exploding in space?
If you were inside it, in a "shirt-sleeve" environment with air to breathe inside,it would sound like a deafening 'BANG', or a THUMP that you could feel throughyour bottom and your feet and all up and down your spine. You would be in bigtrouble.If you were outside of it, you would hear nothing.

Do crocodiles defacate?
Yes If they did not then they would be in danger of exploding.
What would you compare the big bang to?
Exploding soup.

Is there an exploding pizza in space?
Um. . . No. There is not an exploding pizza in space. That would only happen if someone invented one, which wouldn't really happen. Sorry. :)

Does the sun make noise?
Yes it does. It would be louder than a million atomic bombs exploding at the same time (continuously). The only thing that separates us from that shattering sound is the emptiness of space, otherwise known as vacuum. Sound waves can't travel through a vacuum.
