  1. Is Mars really heating up quicker than Earth? - BBC Science Focus Magazine.

  2. 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 ...

  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. 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 ...

  5. Apr 7, 2022 · SciTech Daily's April 1, 2022 Variable Speed of Sound on Mars: What Sounds Captured by NASA’s Perseverance Rover Reveal About the Red Planet says. The result of the recordings: a new understanding of strange characteristics of the Martian atmosphere, where the speed of sound is slower than on Earth – and varies with pitch (or frequency).

  6. Oct 22, 2021 · Image credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech. Perseverance is the first spacecraft to record the sound of Mars, though remarkably, it uses commercial-grade microphones. In addition to the natural sounds on ...

  8. 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.
