In space, there is no air pressure to balance the pressure inside your ears. If the pressure inside your ear is significantly higher than the pressure outside, it can cause your eardrum to burst outwardly. This can happen if you hold your breath and strain, as the air in your lungs builds up pressure and pushes against the eardrum.

What are explosions in space called?

Explosions in space are often referred to as supernovae or space bursts. These phenomena can occur when stars reach the end of their life cycle and explode in a burst of energy, releasing shock waves and radiation into space.


What is a burst of heat and energy that stretches from the surface of the sun and into space?

A burst of heat and energy that stretches from the surface of the sun into space is known as a solar flare. These intense eruptions occur when magnetic energy built up in the solar atmosphere is released, resulting in the emission of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Solar flares can affect space weather and impact satellite operations and communications on Earth.


When the Sun begins to eject matter into space it will create a?

solar flare or coronal mass ejection (CME). These events release a burst of energy and particles into space, potentially affecting space weather on Earth.


What is burst of heat and energy the stretches from the surface of the sun into space?

The burst of heat and energy that stretches from the surface of the Sun into space is known as solar radiation. This radiation encompasses a wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves, including visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are specific phenomena that result in sudden releases of energy and particles from the Sun, impacting space weather and potentially affecting Earth.


How does angle of incidence control the intensity of solar radiation received at the earth's surface?

The angle of incidence is what trajectory the suns burst is taking. If the burst is pointed 20 degrees in any direction, slightly away from the earth, then the intensity of the impact on earth would be less severe since only a portion of the burst is actually making contact. While the rest of it flies into space for millions and millions and millions of kilometers.

Why does the eardrum may burst inwardly if you are in a deep sea but it may burst outwardly if you are in space?

In the sea, the external water pressure is greater than the ear's internal air pressure, so it implodes. In space, the external vacuum is less pressure than the ear's internal air pressure, so it explodes (or is 'sucked' into space.)


What sound can burst your eardrum?

any noise over 120 db can burst your eardrum


Can you burst an eardrum by hitting someone?

Yes. You can burst a person's eardrum by striking them near their ear. See related question link.


If you had a burst eardrum that healed and you plan on flying soon will it burst again?

yes


How can you burst an eardrum?

Too much pressure can rupture an eardrum. For example, I ruptured my brother's eardrum many years ago with one of those pool noodles. We were fighting with them in the pool and I smacked him in the side of the head with it. The force of impact directly over his ear created enough pressure inside of his ear cavity to actually rupture his eardrum. Another thing that can rupture/burst an eardrum is simply sticking something that doesn't belong inside of your ear too deep, physically puncturing the eardrum. Although eardrums can burst, they can also heal. However, the older you get, the more difficult it becomes for your body to repair an eardrum.


Can you feel if your eardrum is about to burst?

Yes, you may feel a sensation of fullness or pressure in the ear, along with sharp pain. If you suspect your eardrum may burst, it's important to seek medical attention promptly.


How can your eardrum burst?

The eardrum is essentially the membrane of the ear that absorbs sound waves. Since this is essentially skin, it is possible to heal, however if ruptured it can be severe. Delving deeper, the eardrum is a very, very sensitive instrument. It works in a process, and I'd need to know exactly what you mean by "burst and eardrum" to respond.


Why your eardrum burst inwardly under deep sea?

Because the surrounding water pressure will push it that way.


How can a nearby explosion burst your eardrum?

A nearby explosion can burst your eardrum due to the sudden increase in air pressure created by the blast. The rapid change in pressure can cause the eardrum to rupture, leading to hearing loss and pain. The loud noise generated by the explosion can also contribute to damaging the delicate structures of the ear.


How long will a burst eardrum drain?

A ruptured tympanic membrane (aka - a burst ear-drum) will drain pus and mucus from the middle ear until the hole within the tympanic membrane has sealed over. Therapy usually involves antibiotic ear-drops and sometimes oral antibiotics, too.


What does a burst eardrum feel like?

Your eardrum may burst if you keep listening to incredibly loud noise or if a lot of air pollution gets in your ear. If you're in an incredibly noisy place like in the construction site, your nerve signal usually tells you to stay away. If your eardrum burst, you can't hear anything, which means you're deaf. If there's a lot of air pollution, you better stay away as well because it doesn't only affect your lung causing lung cancer or pneumonia, it also affects your ear making your eardrum burst. In the past, most construction workers gets their eardrum burst but now they wear earplugs to protect their ears


Is a burst eardrum life threatening for a parshly death person?

A burst eardrum, or tympanic membrane perforation, is typically not life-threatening, even for a person who is partially incapacitated. However, it can lead to complications such as infections or hearing loss, which may exacerbate existing health issues. Prompt medical attention is essential to manage any potential complications effectively.
