6 Solar flares can produce noisy and unclear sound from a radio. Is that because sound
travels from the sun to Earth?
F Yes, but the sun is so far away that the
sound takes years to get to Earth.
G No, Earth is too far from the sun to
receive mechanical waves.
H No, mechanical waves have frequencies
that are much too low to get through
Earth's atmosphere.
I No, there are millions of kilometers
of space between Earth and the sun,
and mechanical waves cannot travel
through space.
