Underground explosions can produce a deep, muffled sound that may be heard as a low rumble or thud, depending on the depth and intensity of the explosion. Sound waves traveling through the ground may also create a sensation of vibration or shaking.

Can you hear an explosion in space?

No, sound cannot travel in the vacuum of space, so explosions cannot be heard in space.


In what year did The Sound Of The Underground reach the number one spot?

"The Sound of the Underground" by Girls Aloud reached the number one spot on the UK Singles Chart in December 2002.


Why are explosions loud?

because they have micro particles that respond to the cells in the explosion that bounce off of each other... Actually, because explosions MOVE air, and your body, it's ears, detect moving air as SOUND. The moving air, in explosions, is moving at several times the speed of Hurricanes, and close to the explosion, thousands of feet per second. Explosions also produce shock waves, that are basically sound waves that travel through the ground, air, and water.


What is the best description of impulse sound?

Impulse sound is a brief burst of sound that occurs quickly, typically lasting for a short duration. It is characterized by a sudden onset and rapid rise in sound pressure level, often creating a sharp, high-intensity sound. Impulse sounds can include noises like gunshots, explosions, or hammer impacts.


Why cant you hear explosions on the sun?

Because sound needs a material medium to travel through, and there's no material between us and the sun. We can understand how important it is to have air or something for sound to travel through when we see videos of Apollo astronauts on the moon, where there's no air. They may be only a few feet apart, but still they can only communicate by radio. Without air, sound doesn't work at all.

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 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.


What kind of sound are explosions and earthquakes transported by?

the earth

In the Star Wars film there are many loud explosions as space ships blow up in reality you would not hear the explosions why not?

Because there's no medium like air, or water to 'conduct' the sound wave. It's vacuum.


What is the nuclear test ban treaty?

Prohibits nuclear weapon test explosions and any other nuclear explosions in three environments: in the atmosphere, in outer space and underwater, but does not prohibit underground nuclear explosions


Why can't we hear explosions?

If you can't hear explosions, you need a doctor. Perhaps we are too far away, or there is another noise which is masking the sound of the explosion.


How can scientists map hidden faults?

By studying how the earth's crust reacts to earthquakes, volcanoes, or underground explosions and the like.

Why sound from the explosions on sun doesn't reach us?
