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 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 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.


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.


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.


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 high can explosions get on the Sun?

These can extend for literally miles into space.


What are the explosions of hydrogen gas from the sun's surface?

Solar Flare


When you make a call you can hear them but that cant hear you?

Yes they can hear you.


Does the sun have pimples?

No, but it does have solar flares. Solar flares are small explosions that happen on the sun everyday.


What if there was sound in space, how loud would it be?

As loud as sound would be normally.


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.
