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…

Reveals Speed Sound On Mars
NASA’s InSight lander has captured the first sounds of Martian wind on the Red Planet. The lander’s seismometer recorded the vibrations of the wind on Dec. 1 and 2. “We’ve been waiting for this for a while,” said Don Banfield, a planetary scientist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and a member of the…
Read moreTwo 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…

NASA’s InSight lander has provided the first ever “sounds” of Martian winds. The low-frequency rumbles were captured by the lander’s seismometer, which is designed to detect vibrations from the wind and from marsquakes. The wind sounds are very low-pitched, and are only audible if you listen to them using headphones. They were recorded at a…

When it comes to vocal techniques, most singers are familiar with the importance of breath support and vowel formation. However, many singers overlook the importance of speed and tone when it comes to singing. In fact, many singers believe that the only way to produce a powerful sound is to belt out their notes as…
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…
Read moreReveals Speed Sound Mars
In a new study, scientists have used spacecraft data to reveal the speed of sound on Mars. The findings, which were published in the journal Nature, could help researchers better understand the dynamics of the Martian atmosphere. The speed of sound on a planet is determined by the planet’s atmospheric pressure and temperature. On Earth,…
Read moreRover Speed Sound Mars
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…
