I sound traveled through a vacuum like it does through air, could the sun be heard from earth?

Answer 1

no. too far away.

Answer 2

Sound does travel through a vacuum like it does through air or any gas. In the absence of reflectors sound intensity obeys the inverse square law. Most of the "sound" from the Sun that reaches Earth is filtered out by our atmosphere. What does reach us impacts at a rate of approx. 36 strikes per square inch per minute. That's far too small an amplitude and frequency for the human ear to detect.

Answer 3

Sound by definition is a wave caused by perturbation in the air (or gas) pressure. Since there is no atmosphere around the sun, it makes no sound and sound cannot travel through vacum.

There are plenty of other waves generated by the sun which reach earth like light and other electromagnetic waves. There are nutrino particles which are generated by the sun and reach the earth.

Answer 4

Sure. On one hand, sound dissipates, and 93m miles is pretty far. On the other hand, the sun is pretty big, so we would probably have a background sound like 'white noise' all the time. Maybe slightly quieter a night, when the bulk of the planet is between us & the sun, but continous, and inescapable.

Answer 5

I suspect not. First, the sun is really far away. Second, its vibrations, which have been measured optically, are at too low a pitch for human hearing.

Answer 6

bad Q....indeed if by gods will it be but dear did u never think of this fact that sound cannot travell in air????
indicates to how much attension u pay to ur teacher

Answer 7

Great question!

We'd probably be deaf :-|

Answer 8

No
