Is Mars Windy. Andy weir’s “the martian” begins with a massive dust storm that strands fictional astronaut mark watney on mars. The low gravity of mars allows for much greater wind speeds at times. Now, thanks to the mars environmental dynamics. A new study that monitored the subtle movements of huge ripples of sand on the martian surface suggests that mars may actually be windier than researchers thought. And just like on earth it varies wildly. The new map of mars winds helps scientists to better understand the workings of the martian climate, giving them a more accurate. Martian winds mostly arise from differences in the way the surface is heated by sunlight between hemispheres, between day and night, and between elevated and depressed surfaces. Is there weather on mars? Under the right weather conditions, the wind speed on mars can reach up to 17 to 30 meters per second. With the help of 80,000 citizen scientists sorting through the orbiter’s images, hundreds of thousands of wind “fans” were identified on the surface of mars. The maximum speed of 30 meters per second (60 mph) was observed during a dust storm at the viking site.
