Coronal seismology

Coronal seismology is like listening to earthquakes in the sun's atmosphere. It is like scientists use sound waves to understand what is happening inside the sun! Scientists use specialized instruments to measure the sound waves that travel through the sun's atmosphere. These sound waves show what is happening inside the sun and how it works. This helps scientists find out important things about the sun that they wouldn't be able to find out without these sound waves.
