NASA has found that the speed of sound on Mars is a lot slower than on Earth and a “deep silence prevails” over the red planet.
The scientists came to the conclusion after calculating the speed of sound on Mars dating back to February 19, 2021, the day after NASA's Perseverance rover landed on the planet.
They found out that sound travels 100 meters per second slower on Mars compared to Earth.
Moreover, the researchers discovered that there are two speeds of sound on Mars one for high-pitched sounds and one for low-pitched sounds.
