Earth's atmosphere experiences an acoustic effect during a thunderstorm.
An atmosphere (from Ancient Greek   (atms) 'vapour, steam', and   (sphara) 'sphere') is a layer of gas or layers of gases that envelop a planet, and is held in place by the gravity of the planetary body
 The layered composition of the atmosphere minimises the harmful effects of sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, the solar wind, and cosmic rays to protect organisms from genetic damage
