  1. Apr 30, 2024 · Sounds emitted in the cold Martian atmosphere would take slightly longer to get to your ear. With an average surface temperature around -81 F (-63 C), Mars has a lower speed of sound, around 540 mph (~240 meters per second), compared to about 760 mph (~340 meters per second) on Earth. You probably wouldn’t notice up close, but over longer ...

  2. Mar 24, 2022 · Mars' atmosphere is a lot more tenuous than Earth's, around 0.020 kg/m 3, compared to about 1.2 kg/m 3 for Earth. That alone means that sound would propagate differently on the red planet. But the layer of the atmosphere just above the surface, known as the Planetary Boundary Layer, has added complications: During the day, the warming of the ...

  3. Jun 11, 2024 · A composite panorama of Mars taken by NASA's Curiosity rover at two different times of day — 8:30 a.m. and 4:10 p.m., local Mars time. New research finds that sound moves differently at ...

  4. Apr 6, 2022 · Mars' barely-there atmosphere is over 100 times thinner than that of Earth, so sound moves much more slowly through it, traveling at just 787 feet per second (240 m/s), according to Science Alert ...

  5. May 23, 2023 · Did you know sound works differently on Mars than it does on Earth? Mars has a different atmosphere than Earth, so sounds on the Red Planet would sound a bit different and be more muffled. NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover has two microphones that record sounds on the Red Planet. Since its landing in February 2021, the rover has captured sounds such as dust devils, the whir of the Ingenuity ...

  6. Apr 1, 2022 · On Earth, sound might drop off after about 213 feet (65 meters); on Mars, it falters at just 26 feet (8 meters), with high-pitched sounds being lost completely at that distance. The recordings from SuperCam’s microphone also reveal previously unobserved pressure variations produced by turbulence in the Martian atmosphere as its energy changes at tiny scales.

  8. Apr 11, 2022 · In contrast, at Earth’s surface, sound moves through the air at only one speed, no matter the pitch. The two speeds on Mars, the researchers say, are because of its carbon dioxide–rich atmosphere.
