because space is a vacuum. In order for sound to carry, there must be matter through which it may travel (sound is caused by the energy that causes particles to vibrate). On Earth, we have the air particles that sound carry's through. In space, there is no medium through which the sound energy may travel.

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 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 sound of light can't be heard?

Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Light, on the other hand, travels as electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium. Therefore, light does not produce sound waves that can be heard by the human ear.

Can sound travel or heard in a vacuum?

Cannot be heard as sound being a mechanical wave badly needs a material medium


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.


Did ultrasonic sound are heard in solar system?

No, because sound cannot travel in the vacuum.

Why a sound of ringing bell inside vacuum chamber cannot be heard?

Sound requires a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum chamber, there is no air or medium for the sound waves to travel through, so the ringing bell cannot be heard.
