Question

Explain why we are not able to hear the explosions happening in the sun?

Open in App
Solution

The energy in the sun is coming from the explosions happening in the sun but we are not able to hear these explosions.
As the sound of explosions has to travel through space where there is no material medium present.

But we know that sound needs a medium to propagate and it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Hence, we are not able to hear the explosions happening in the Sun.
