The average wind speeds on Venus can reach up to 224 miles per hour (360 kilometers per hour) in its upper atmosphere, which is much faster than on Earth. Venus has a super-rotational atmosphere, where the winds at cloud-top level move much faster than the planet's rotation.
As far as we cal tell, there are no tornadoes on Venus. There are certainly high wind speeds, at higher altitudes, but no tornadoes.
Venus has little wind erosion because its thick atmosphere has very slow wind speeds, which are not strong enough to cause significant erosion on the planet's surface. Additionally, Venus's surface is predominantly covered by volcanic plains rather than loose, easily eroded materials like sand or dust.
There are no wind speeds to discuss on Mercury, since there is no atmosphere there.
There is wind on Venus but only in the clouds of toxic gases. The gaseous atmosphere is very dense near the surface with almost imperceptible winds, and up to 10 km (6 mi) altitude the wind speeds range from 3 to 18 km/h (2 to 11 mph). In the thinner upper atmosphere, more than 10 km above the surface, winds blowing from the west circle the planet at speeds up to 360 km/h (225 mph).
Tornadoes, hurricanes, and localized thunderstorms known as microbursts are some of the situations that can produce the highest wind speeds on Earth. These extreme weather events can generate wind speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour, causing significant damage and destruction.
Some common names for different wind speeds are: Light breeze (4-7 mph) Moderate wind (8-18 mph) Strong wind (19-31 mph) Gale (32-63 mph) Hurricane (74+ mph)
No. The highest wind speeds in a tornado are estimated to be a little over 300 mph (480 km/h).
yes
Yes they can.
Anemometer is the instrument used to measure wind speeds. It usually consists of cups that rotate in the wind, with the speed of rotation providing an indication of wind speed.
As a category 3 hurricane, Sandy produced wind speeds of 115 mph in eastern Cuba.
