I don't understand. How can wind be supersonic? Isn't wind essentially a super-low frequency sound? Well, ok, not exactly, but still, it moves pretty much like sound. For it to be supersonic, air mass behind needs to move faster, than air mass in the front of it can be pushed, which seems kinda self-inconsistent. It doesn't make any sense.

- octubre 2y agoI think wind is not like a sound, it's the bulk movement of the air itself instead of the propagation of a pressure wave (where there could be no average bulk movement). That's why wind can be different speeds and sounds are always the same speed (in the same air...)
