Basically what the term “breaking the sound barrier” means is when a jet is flying at a very high speed or the speed of sound, the tip of the jet breaks the sound barrier and the clouds form a shape. The clouds around it are vapour clouds and they tend to make egg like shapes or a funnel. It also creates a big explosion or sonic boom when it passes through the sound barrier and they say that if you’re on the ground you can actually hear it. I thought this was really cool because people actually captured this happening and god knows how fast the jets go. What I really wanted to hear perosonally was the actual sonic boom itself. It would be really nice to hear it happen and I wanted to know how loud it sounds when the sound barrier is broken. Would it be loud enough to hurt your ears and just a quick boom? I also wanted to know how it would look if I saw it with my own eyes, rather than through a video. After seeing the video I really wanted to see it and hear it myself, but I think it would be too fast to catch a glimpse.
