Can you hear the sun?

Today, we can hear the Sun's movement — all of its waves, loops and eruptions — with our own ears. This sound helps scientists study what can't be observed with the naked eye.

Is it possible to hear the Sun?

We can't hear the sun because sound waves can't travel through the vacuum of space -- they need an atmosphere, where they travel by creating changes in pressure.

Is the Sun really loud?

The answer might surprise you, as solar physicists estimate that the solar surface noise would be approximately 100dB by the time it reaches Earth! The enormity of the sun's surface paired with its capability of generating of tens of thousands of watts of sound energy per meter makes the sun astronomically loud.

What does the Sun sounds like?

The sound itself would be something like a dull roar, deForest says, because the sound waves coming at us would be composed of so many different frequencies. Imagine standing next to Niagara Falls all of the time (it would actually be even louder — Niagara clocks in at around 90 decibels).

Can you hear the Sun burning?

The sun would be absolutely deafening. This is because the sun, though it may look smooth and calm from Earth, is actually a maelstrom of superheated plasma.

What If We Could Hear the Sun?

Does the sun scream?

Radio screams

Like the calm before a storm (but louder), they found that coronal mass ejections with shocks capable of unleashing radio storms are preceded by "screams" in radio waves as they barrel through the solar wind.

Is the sun silent?

The sun is not silent; in fact, it has a surprisingly soothing sound. Have you ever listened to the sun? Thanks to data from the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), now you can.

Does the Moon make noise?

However, the Moon is in space, and space is mostly a vacuum (there are always some atoms floating around, but they are VERY far apart and don't interact with one another). Thus there is no sound on the Moon.

Is there any sound in universe?

No, there isn't sound in space.

This is because sound travels through the vibration of particles, and space is a vacuum. On Earth, sound mainly travels to your ears by way of vibrating air molecules, but in near-empty regions of space there are no (or very, very few) particles to vibrate – so no sound.

How loud is a black hole?

Apparently, a sound of 1,100 decibels would create so much energy, it would act as a immensely high quantity of mass. This would, in turn, create enough gravity to form an extremely large black hole! Larger, in fact, than our observable universe.

How loud is it in space?

No, you cannot hear any sounds in near-empty regions of space. Sound travels through the vibration of atoms and molecules in a medium (such as air or water). In space, where there is no air, sound has no way to travel.

What is the loudest sound in the universe?

The 1883 Krakatoa volcano eruption was the loudest sound recorded on Earth, but there are much louder sounds in space, even though we technically can't hear them.

How loud is the sun up close?

One heliophysicist crunched the numbers and estimates the noise would be around 110 decibels, or about the same volume as speakers at a rock concert.

Is it completely dark in space?

Above the Earth's atmosphere, outer space dims even further, fading to an inky pitch-black. And yet even there, space isn't absolutely black. The universe has a suffused feeble glimmer from innumerable distant stars and galaxies. This artist's illustration shows NASA's New Horizons spacecraft in the outer solar system.

What does the Moon taste like?

But they did react: "It is really a strong smell," radioed Apollo 16 pilot Charlie Duke. "It has that taste -- to me, [of] gunpowder -- and the smell of gunpowder, too." On the next mission, Apollo 17, Gene Cernan remarked, "smells like someone just fired a carbine in here."

Can you talk on the Moon?

No, the astronauts cannot talk on the surface of the moon because there is no atmosphere/medium present on the moon and sound cannot travel through vacuum. On earth air is present and hence they can talk with each other.

Can life exist on the Moon?

Today, the authors wrote, the moon is totally inhospitable to life. It has, they wrote, "no significant atmosphere, no liquid water on its surface, no magnetosphere to protect its surface from solar wind and cosmic radiation, no polymeric chemistry [the building blocks of life], and it is subject to large ...

How hot does the sun burn?

The continual nuclear fusion, causes energy to build up and the sun's core reaches temperatures of about 27 million degrees F (15 million degrees C). The energy then radiates outward to the sun's surface, atmosphere and beyond.

Do black holes make sound?

Now, humans can hear the sound of the black hole forever. Since 2003, the Perseus Galaxy has been known to have a noise-making black hole at its centre. At the time of discovery of this black hole, scientists had observed it for 53 hours.

Is the Earth loud?

At some point, the fluctuations in air pressure are so large that the low pressure regions hit zero pressure—a vacuum—and you can't get any lower than that. This limit happens to be about 194 decibels for a sound in Earth's atmosphere.

Does the Sun roar?

With a bit of help from NASA, you can now hear the sun's roar — and it's glorious. Although you never hear it, the Sun is actually pretty loud.

What a black hole sounds like?

For the first time in history, earthlings can hear what a black hole sounds like: a low-pitched groaning, as if a very creaky heavy door was being opened again and again.

Is there sound on Neptune?

The equatorial regions of Neptune possess average wind speeds of over 700 mph, which is faster than the speed of sound here on Earth. Like Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune radiates more hear than it receives.

How quiet is space?

Space isn't completely quiet — in fact, it's rather loud. Explore the anomalies that drown out all other noise. Sound doesn't travel in space. That's the knowledge most people have, however, it's not exactly true.
