Answer 1

I’ve read that even though other planets have high winds, like Mars, the air pressure/atmospheric density means to humans that even though the wind is like 100kph, the you’d still barely feel the wind. The wind can move fast, but it isn’t moving much. Like, a 60mph wind on Mars might feel closer to 6mph on Earth.
