If the atmosphere of the “red planet” was suitable for life wise man, it would provide strange sound effects. So, scientists believe that music on Mars would sound “completely random”, and women, in principle, would be heard worse than men, transmits Hi-Tech.
To come to such conclusions, researchers from NASA helped the Perseverance rover, equipped with a laser. While the rover probed the Martian rocks to study geology, people measured the time it took for the staccato clicks emitted by the device to reach the SuperCam microphone. So it became clear that the speed of sound on Mars is 240 m/s. This is lower than on Earth, where sound travels about 340 meters per second.
This phenomenon is associated with the cold that reigns on the fourth planet from the Sun. The average temperature on its surface is minus 63 degrees Celsius, experts remind. In addition, given the “Martian idiosyncrasy” that gives carbon dioxide molecules “uniqueness” under low pressure conditions, a person would hear high sounds before bass.
However, the overall sound would be much quieter than on our planet due to the extreme rarefaction of the Martian atmosphere. On Earth, the atmosphere is 100 times denser. As a result, those who are close to the sound source will be better able to make out what was said on Mars.
Another bizarre play of low and high frequencies on Mars is due to the fact that its atmosphere is almost entirely – 96% – carbon dioxide. For this reason, the “air” there absorbs a lot of high-pitched sounds. Long distances could only be crossed by speech or singing in a lower key, the article points out.
