Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the Sounds of Weather

We’ve all experienced our fair share of weather. But have we listened to it? On this StarTalk explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate the sounds of weather.

Find out about the shape of lightning and how that influences the sound of thunder. We explore “constructive” and “destructive” interference. Neil explains why we feel some sounds more than we hear them. And, Neil gives us a science trick to help figure out how far you are from the approaching storm.

We explore why snow is nature’s sound-proofing. Then, we debate if you can hear an aurora. All that, plus, we investigate hail and Neil shares why “down pause” is one of his favorite weather terms.
