I am simple asking if radio people have trouble with the fact that the speed

No, they are not because the speed of electromagnetic waves is NOT frequeny
dependent, the speed is media dependent, you babbling, ignorant, trolling,
moron.

Is the same in air and space?

Yes in air , and no in space.

Yes in air , and no in space.

Yes close to the Earth. But what is close to the Sun?

Depends what you mean by "space".. perfect vacuum, sure..

But what's between the planets in the Solar System isn't a perfect
vacuum, and so, it shows dispersion due to the presence of small amounts
of ionization.

Granted, it's generally a better vacuum than you are likely to achieve
on Earth by mechanical means.

Speed of waves in a dispersive medium is temperature dependent.
In the Solar System the temperatures are decreasing with the distance from
the Sun.

It seems to me that the no answer for Maxwell's question:
"Incidentally, Maxwell once suggested that Roemer's method could be used to
test for the isotropy of light speed, i.e., to test whether the speed of
light is the same in all directions. Roemer's method can be regarded as a
means of measuring the speed of light in the direction from Jupiter to the
Earth. Jupiter has an orbital period of about 12 years, so if we use
Roemer's method to evaluate the speed of light several times over a 12 year
period, we will be evaluating the speed in all possible directions (in the
plane of the ecliptic). "

Do you know the answer?

Maybe.. depends on the medium, I should think, and the mechanism of the
dispersion. Some dispersion might be due to ionization (which may or
may not be temperature dependent).

In the Solar System the temperatures are decreasing with the distance from
the Sun.


Temperature in a vacuum and with ionized particles is tricky to define.
It has to do with mean free path and the velocity of the particles.
When the number density gets down in the "few atoms per cubic meter" and
the mean free path gets to be meters or km, I think you need to start
thinking in different ways.

One common confusion is an assumption of a particular velocity
distribution in charged particles and then using the 11000K = 1 eV relation.

It is known that the speed of light in air is temperature dependent ( mirage
and E. Schmidt's method in Fluid dynamics).
in vacuum also. But I culd find the results.

In the Solar System the temperatures are decreasing with the distance
from the Sun.

May be, but at first I must know if the mirage works in vacuum.

distribution in charged particles and then using the 11000K = 1 eV
relation.

Yes. But the simple measurement of the mirage or E. Schmidt's effect in
vacuum will clarify everything.
"I am sure that such experiments were done". Could you help?
