Wind can be felt on the surface of Mars

Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple in-situ measurements from landers and rovers, alongside orbital observations of atmospheric phenomena like dust devils, confirm that wind blows and can be measured on the surface of Mars.

The analysis

The claim is specific, empirical, and testable. Numerous papers providing in-situ meteorological data from Viking to Curiosity, InSight, and Tianwen-1, as well as studies analyzing Martian surface winds and dust devils, robustly support the fact that there are winds on the surface of Mars.
