Thanks to NASA data, scientists managed to reveal sound has a delay effect on Mars : Okezone techno

JAKARTA – Own rover rover NASA has caught a variety of sounds from the Red Planet, including the sound of winds and a loud hum through the atmosphere, since landing on Mars a year ago

Reporting from Engadget, Monday (4/4/2022), these sounds were recorded and managed to help scientists find that the movement of sound on Mars is different from that on Earth.

In a recently published research journal, it is said that sound travels more slowly on Mars. This is because the atmosphere of carbon dioxide on Mars is thinner than on Earth.

On Earth, sound normally travels at 767 miles per hour. But on Mars, scientists have found that low-pitched sounds travel at about 537 miles per hour and high-pitched sounds at 559 miles per hour.

“On Earth, sound from an orchestra is heard at the same speed, low or high. But on Mars, if we are some distance from the stage, the sound will be delayed,” said study lead author Sylvestre Maurice.

Sound also travels shorter distances due to the planet’s thin atmosphere. On Earth, sound is difficult to hear from about 213 feet away, whereas on Mars sound begins to falter after only 13 feet.

So chatting on Mars will be more difficult to do than on Earth. These findings provide an idea of ​​how much a Mars-like atmosphere will change our perception of the world.
