Gamma rays. These high energy electromagnetic waves are given of in nuclear reactions (including those in stars)

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 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 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 do we get heavy elements?

Heavy elements were formed in stars, and blown out into space in supernova explosions.


Do nuclear bombs travel through space?

Yes, why couldn't they? An ICBM carries its nuclear warhead into space and then releases it allowing it to fall from space onto its target. Several hydrogen bomb tests had been performed by the US in space in the early 1960s (one of these caused a delay to a Gemini space mission due to a radiation belt it created that could hurt the astronauts). A project to build spacecraft propelled by nuclear explosions called Project Orion began in the middle 1950s and was stopped in 1963 when the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty prohibited nuclear explosions in space.


Does everything in space involve nuclear energy?

All the stars rely on nuclear fusion to provide their energy, but there are other objects like the planets and asteroids that are just lumps of rock or gas, without nuclear reactions going on, and astronomers now think that such objects will be found all over the universe as well as in our solar system.


What is the Orion Project?

The Orion Project was a classified U.S. military program in the 1950s and 1960s exploring the possibility of nuclear pulse propulsion for spacecraft. It proposed using nuclear explosions to propel a large spacecraft to other planets. The project was ultimately canceled due to concerns about the environmental impact of nuclear testing in space.


What are 3 uses of plutonium?

Nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors (Pu 239 and Pu 241 are fissile isotopes) Nuclear weapons Power and thermal source - Pu 238 (for pacemakers)


How Electromagnetic Waves produced on surface of sun?

Electromagnetic waves on the surface of the sun are produced through the process of nuclear fusion in its core. The intense heat and pressure generated by nuclear reactions cause charged particles to move rapidly, creating electromagnetic radiation in the form of light, ultraviolet, and other wavelengths. These waves are then emitted from the sun's surface into space.


How can the space travelers on board in the space heard the explosions in the space?

I'm not sure which explosions you're referring to. But if an explosion were tooccur near a manned spacecraft, the people on board could not hear it.


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.
