If there is no sound in space does that mean stars are silent?

Question

I did Google this a bit and understand that sounds needs a medium to travel.

So if we could hypothetically stand in the surface of the sun would we hear nothing?

If two asteroids collided would it be completely silent?

Answer 1

I believe there is still matter around and eminating from a star, so it could very well have a distinct sound, but if you’re way back looking at it, there is no medium to bring that sound to you. Sound waves are like waves jn the ocean, stand away from the shore and they can’t get to you, and unlike light, we can’t see sound, so you wouldn’t know those waves were ever there unless they could reach you.
