We live in a acoustic system which inversely correlates with the brightness of sun, and you worry when respectively thinking and writing on that very fact. Appearances accurately reflect earth's light at the star, except near rainy places where clouds lower and local natives beat on the tympanums torn from your ears by your own self-determined, smaller-than-an-elbow middle fingers! You're lucky they didn't trick you into peeling away your conjunctiva. Next time, wear protection!
