Why can't we hear nuclear explosions from the sun?

We can't hear nuclear explosions from the sun because sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space. Sound waves require a medium, like air or water, to propagate, but space is mostly empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, mainly light and heat, rather than sound waves.


Why can nuclear explosions on the sun not be heard on earth?

Sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, so we cannot hear nuclear explosions on the sun from Earth. Sound requires a medium to travel through, like air, and space is empty. Additionally, the sun's explosions produce vibrations in the form of electromagnetic waves, which we can detect but not hear as sound.


Why we cannot hear the explosions in the sun?

We cannot hear explosions on the Sun because sound requires a medium, like air, to travel through, and space is a vacuum with no air. Additionally, the explosions on the Sun, such as solar flares, release energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which does not produce sound waves. Even if we were closer to the Sun, the intense heat and lack of a suitable medium would still prevent sound from reaching us.


Why sound of explosion are not heard by us which occur on sun?

The sound of explosions on the Sun cannot be heard on Earth because sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space. While there may be powerful explosions such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections on the Sun, the sound waves generated by these events are not transmitted to our planet due to the lack of a medium to propagate through.


Does the star orbit the sun and the planet doesnt?

The sun is a star. And planets within its gravitational reach orbit it.


Why can we see light from the sunbut not hear the explosions from the sun?

Between the earth and the sun there is no air (its a vacuum). Sound cannot travel across a vacuum. Light can.


What if there was sound in space, how loud would it be?

As loud as sound would be normally.


Is the sun a source of sound and electrical energy?

No. At least, sound and electricity doesn't reach us directly from the Sun. What we receive is the sunlight - light energy.


Why you cannot hear the sound of explosion produce in the sun?

Sound waves cannot travel through space because space is a vacuum, meaning there is no medium (like air or water) for sound waves to travel through. Since the Sun is in space, the sound of an explosion produced by the Sun cannot be heard on Earth.


Why the explosions taking place in sun are not hered at earth?

To transmit sound, some sort of medium is required. A sound won't travel through empty space. (Some movies are unrealistic in this respect.)


Why cant you hear nuclear explosions from the sun?

Nuclear explosions on the sun, like nuclear fusion reactions, happen in the sun's core which is extremely dense and covered by many layers. The energy produced from these explosions must travel through these layers before reaching the sun's surface and then space, which is why we cannot hear them on Earth. Additionally, sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space.


How long to reach the sun at the speed of sound?

The speed of sound is approximately 1,125 kilometers per hour (about 700 miles per hour) at sea level. The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). At the speed of sound, it would take roughly 6,700 years to reach the Sun.
