Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. Depending upon the distance from and nature of the lightning, it can range from a long, low rumble to a sudden, loud crack. The sudden increase in temperature and hence pressure caused by the lightning produces rapid expansion of the air in the path of a lightning bolt. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave, often referred to as a
The Oort cloud is a shell of icy bodies that surrounds the solar system. It begins beyond the Kuiper Belt and even beyond the influence of the sun’s magnetic field, technically in interstellar
We’re lucky that’s the case, because otherwise the sound of the Sun would roar at an impressive 100 decibels to us on Earth – like hearing a rock concert all day every day.
2. Also, the Sun — like any other star — oscillates with various modes, or "tones", and "overtones". These oscillations are not recorded with audio equipment, but by measuring the Doppler shift of its surface, i.e. measuring how the surface wobbles up and down. This wobbling occurs with certain frequencies, which can be thought of as sound. Still treads the shadow of his foe, And forward bends his head, The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast, And southward aye we fled. And now there came both mist and snow, And it grew wondrous cold: And ice, mast-high, came floating by, As green as emerald. And through the drifts the snowy clifts. Explainer: How the ears work. Loud sounds, however, can wreak havoc all along this path. Often it damages the auditory nerve first. The brain’s ability to interpret sound can be affected early, too. This kind of damage can cause lots of issues ― sound distortion, tinnitus and hyperacusis.
Released on August 29, 2005, Music Of The Sun placed a young Rihanna at the forefront of West Indies music and culture. Her follow-up single, “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want,” took a simple
For my dreams I hold my life. For wishes I behold my night. The truth at the end of time. Losing faith makes a crime. I wish for this night-time. To last for a lifetime. The darkness around me. Shores of a solar sea. Oh how I wish to go down with the sun.
9. For a long time, Wikipedia has said that the loudest possible sound is 191 dB SPL, as this corresponds to 1 atmosphere of pressure peak-to-peak, and anything above this would be clipped at vacuum on the negative peaks, and is therefore classed as a "shockwave" rather than "sound". (Though Wikipedia also defines a shock wave as a wave moving
