Supersonic and hypersonic are speeds. Supersonic means faster than the speed of sound, and hypersonic means very much faster.

What is the antonym of subsonic?

You could use "hypersonic." It is not a precise synonym, as subsonic is below the threshhold of hearing, whereas hypersonic would be above it. Supersonic would refer to velocity faster than the speed of sound, whereas subsonic also refers to velocities slower than those of the speed of sound. Sonic velocities are a consideration in jet aircraft design and with bullets and marksmanship. Subsonic rifle bullets tend to be more accurate than hypersonic ones


List each planet and a sentence that best describes it?

Sure! Here are the planets in our solar system along with a brief description for each: Mercury - The closest planet to the Sun, Mercury has extreme temperature variations between its scorching hot days and freezing cold nights. Venus - Known for its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system due to its greenhouse effect. Earth - Our home planet, Earth is the only known celestial body to support life, with a diverse range of ecosystems and a protective atmosphere. Mars - Often called the "Red Planet," Mars has polar ice caps and a thin atmosphere, making it a target for future human exploration. Jupiter - The largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter is known for its massive size, colorful bands of clouds, and iconic Great Red Spot storm. Saturn - Recognizable by its prominent ring system made of ice particles and dust, Saturn is a gas giant with over 60 moons. Uranus - Tilted on its side, Uranus is a unique planet with a blue-green color due to methane in its atmosphere and a system of faint rings. Neptune - The farthest planet from the Sun, Neptune is a frigid world with winds reaching supersonic speeds and a striking blue coloration. These descriptions highlight key characteristics and features of each planet in our solar system.

What are types of jet engines?

There are many types of jet engines.Some of them are ordinary, supersonic and hypersonic.


What is the difference between hypersonic supersonic planes?

A supersonic plane is one that is flying faster than the speed of sound, or Mach 1. A hypersonic plane flies at a speed of Mach 5, so is much faster than a supersonic plane. Mach numbers are used for speeds greater than the speed of sound.

How fast can a supersonic plane fly?

The threshold for supersonic speed is 761 mph in a temperature like 70 degrees. Supersonic speed is any speed greater than the speed of sound (mach 1) and a speed five times the speed of sound (mach 5?) is referred to as hypersonic speed.


What are supersonic speeds?

Supersonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound. At the beginning of 20th century, the term supersonic was used as an adjective to describe sound whose frequency is above the range of normal human hearing. Speeds greater than five times the speed of sound are often referred to as hypersonic.
