Does the Sun Have A Sound?
Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.
- Drew Barrymore
I have no idea how the question raised in my head… but there it popped up. Does the sun make noise? Does it even have a sound? So I Google’d it, and lo’ and behold… there it is.
The Singing Sun:
The Sun’s sound waves are normally at frequencies too low for the human ear to hear. To be able to hear them, the scientists sped up the waves 42,000 times — and compressed 40 days of vibrations into a few seconds. What you’ll be hearing are just a few dozen of the 10 million resonances echoing inside the Sun.
Thanks to the Stanford Solar Center for making the nifty website!
