“The Loud Sound of the Sun: NASA Scientists Share Discoveries”

The Sun Turns Out to Voice, Here’s the Sound Says Scientists. NASA

Merdeka.com – The sun is basically a giant nuclear fusion reaction. It pumps out so much energy that it heats and illuminates entire planets and the Solar System.

Along with that incredible amount of heat and light, it also actually let out an extremely loud sound. However, because sound cannot travel through a vacuum, it seems that the sun is silent.




Craig DeForest, a distinguished heliophysicist from the Southwest Research Institute’s Department of Space Studies explains how loud the Sun sounds.

Reporting from the IFLScience and NASA pages, Tuesday (30/5), the sun theoretically makes a sound of about 100 decibels.

This sound measure, if simplified, is as loud as standing next to a sound system at a rock concert. Craig said, the noise is extraordinary when you consider the Sun is 150 million kilometers from us.

“The sound of the Sun is very loud. Luckily the sound does not spread through space,” he said.

The same thing was also expressed by Alex Young, a NASA heliophysicist in 2018. According to him, the sun has a sound like a buzzing but loud.

“The sun is not still,” said Alex.

Craig continued, each solar cell emits about 100 to 300 watts of sound energy per square meter. It is almost the same as a police siren. And because the surface area of ​​the Sun is about 10,000 times larger than Earth’s, one can imagine 10,000 Earths shrouded in police sirens.

“It’s going to be that loud,” Craig explained.

The following is a low-frequency snippet of the sun’s sound taken from a Tiktok account that has been matched with the original sound recorded by NASA.
