We cannot hear the explosions from the sun as sound cannot travel through a vacuum, and the sound would have to travel through one to reach the Earth.

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.


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 cant we hear the sun but we can see it?

Because the sun is so freakin far away..Can you hear your neighbors in their house? No but you can see them.


How big are the explosions on the sun?

Explosions on the Sun, like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, can vary in size. Solar flares can release energy equivalent to millions of nuclear bombs, while coronal mass ejections can release billions of tons of solar material into space. These explosions can have various impacts on Earth's magnetosphere and technology.

Which is bigger a nuclear or atomic explosion?

Nuclear explosions are the result of splitting the atom. It is actually what powers the sun.


Nuclear weapon how hot are they to the sun?

Theoretically any Thermonuclear Fusion Explosions (what happens on the surface of the sun) are the same heat.


How is light generated from the sun?

By nuclear explosions in the earth's core that cause chemical reactions, basically the sun is one big bomb!

Could nuclear explosions harm the atmosphere?

yes exended use of nuclear bombs would send tons of debris and dust in the air that will block out the sun


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.


How does the medium affect the speed of a wave?

medium really affect the speed of sound the big example in front of us is sun as there are a lot of explosions on the surface of sun because of nuclear reactions but we cant hear them because there is a vaccum between earth and sun.

What does a star hear?

Stars are not living organisms; they do not hear anything. However, sound is essentially vibrations in the atmosphere, and the Sun does have an atmosphere of ionized plasma. If you could place a listening device near the sun (and if you could somehow prevent the 12,000 degree heat of the Sun from vaporizing it) the sound would likely be a continuous roar of noise, punctuated by occasional violent explosions. Remember that the Sun is an enormous nuclear bomb going off continuously; the vibrations are probably extremely severe.
