There is no air on Mars, which means that sound cannot travel through the atmosphere. However, there is still a way for Martians to communicate with each other, and that is by using speed sound. Speed sound is a way to communicate over long distances by using the vibrations of the ground. It works by…

Two Speeds Of Sound On Mars
There is evidence that Mars has two speeds of sound. The first is the speed of sound in the atmosphere, which is about 330 meters per second. The second is the speed of sound in the solid rock, which is about 3,000 meters per second. The speed of sound in the atmosphere is determined by…

In a study recently published in the journal Nature Physics, a team of physicists has revealed that the speed of sound can be heard. The study was conducted by a team at the University of Vienna, led by Professor Andreas Wallraff. The team used a technique called sub-micrometer Bragg reflection microscopy to measure the speed…
Read moreRover Reveals Speed Sound On Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has been on Mars for over four years now and it’s still providing us with new and exciting discoveries. Recently, the rover has revealed the speed of sound on the red planet. The speed of sound on Mars is much slower than on Earth. It’s estimated to be around 328 meters per…

There’s no mistaking the speed at which a rover is travelling on Mars – the sound of its engines is unmistakable. A team of researchers, led by Dr. Ali Safavi-Naeini from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, have analysed the sound of rovers on the Martian surface, and have created a video which…
