The Sun as a light source – Did you know?

The video explains that sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space, but the Sun produces vibrations that cause its surface to wiggle. These vibrations are normally too low-pitched for human ears, but when sped up, they can be heard, providing a unique way to 'listen' to the Sun.

What causes the Sun's surface to move?

• Sunspots

• Solar flares

• Magnetic fields

• Vibrations

Why can't we normally hear the Sun's vibrations?

• They are too fast

• They are too slow

• They are too high-pitched
