What is the wind speed on other planets in the solar system?

On Mercury, there is no wind because there is no atmosphere.๐Ÿ‘‡

On Venus, however, there are very strong winds averaging 200 km/h, with peaks reaching 400 km/h๐Ÿ‘‡.

On Earth, the average wind speed is 11 km/h. The strongest wind ever recorded was at 371 km/h.๐Ÿ‘‡

On Mars, the average wind speed is 96 km/h, with a peak of 344 km/h recorded during the Viking mission.๐Ÿ‘‡

On the gas giant Jupiter, a wind speed of 643 km/h has been recorded inside the famous Great Red Spot.๐Ÿ‘‡

It is estimated that at the top of Saturn’s atmosphere, wind speeds can reach 1800 km/h at the equator.๐Ÿ‘‡

On Uranus, winds reach speeds of 900 km/h.๐Ÿ‘‡

On Neptune, the strongest wind in the entire solar system has been recorded at 2414 km/h.๐Ÿ‘‡
