It varies depending on the type of ukulele. The Tenor has a wider range than a concert or a soprano.
Because you blow with one and you strum the strings on the other. The reverberations of the metal makes the sound in the horn while it is the wood resonating to the strings that makes the sound for the ukulele.
That depends on the type of instrument you are talking about. An electric ukulele used pickups and no sound hole is required. However, an acoustic ukulele is going to need to have holes to provide volume by allowing the sound to project out of the instrument.
There are many variables that influence the sound of an ukulele. The strumming patterns, strings and the music being played will greatly affect the resulting sounds. My opinion would be that a soprano size ukulele has the sound most associated with the Hawaiian music.
An object that begins with a 'yoo' sound is a ukulele.

The soprano ukulele is the smallest and most popular type of ukulele. It has a bright, cheerful sound that is perfect for playing a variety of genres, from Hawaiian folk to pop to jazz.

When the strings of the ukulele are plucked or strummed the vibrations transfer to the front of the ukulele through the bridge and the nut vibrating the neck and hollow body of the instrument. The sound hole on the front of the body helps to project the tone of the ukulele outward making it more easily heard. The larger the ukulele the space for resonance and louder the projection. A soprano ukulele would be much quieter than a tenor ukulele even though both are tuned to the same notes.
I play guitar and I love to sound, but ukulele is a very unique sound too!
The strings on a normal ukulele are tuned GCEA going top to bottom. If you have a piano or a G tuning fork, use it to play the note g then try to tune the g on the ukulele to sound like the note you pressed on the piano then do the same with c,e,and a.
The ukulele is not designed to have steel strings. The stress required to tune the steel strings may very well damage the instrument. And the resulting sound will not match that of a traditional ukulele.
