Mach Number
Mach number is the speed of an object moving through the air divided by the speed of sound in those current conditions. The speed of sound is directly related to temperature and density so it is constantly varying.
The Mach number depends on the speed of sound in the gas and the speed of sound depends on the type of gas and the temperature of the gas. The speed of sound varies from planet to planet.

Mach number - ratio of true airspeed to the speed of sound. Mach 1 is the speed of sound at sea level, ISA, approximately 1,100 feet per second or 760 mph.
Mach number. The ratio of the true airspeed of the aircraft to the speed of sound in the same atmospheric conditions, named in honor of Ernst Mach, late 19th century physicist.

MACH NUMBER - Named after the Austrian physicist Ernst Mach, a means of recording the speed of a body as a ratio of the speed of sound in the same ambient conditions.
Mach 1 - The speed of sound - about 660 knots (760mph) at sea level, and about 580 knots (670mph) at 36,000 feet - varies as square root of air temperature
Mach number - The ratio of true airspeed in relation to the speed of sound, e.g.
Mach 1 760 MPH. When a plane travels faster than this speed it is breaking the sound barrier.
Also Mmo, Mach limit maximum operating speed.
VNE: never-exceed speed, ‘redline speed' denoted by a red radial on an ASI.
VNO: normal operating speed.
The routing between Washington or New York and Mexico City included a deceleration, from Mach 2.02 to Mach 0.95, to cross Florida subsonically and avoid unlawfully sonic-booming it; then a reacceleration to cross the Gulf of Mexico at Mach 2.02.
Vmo and Mmo on the PiperJet are 250 knots and Mach 0.65, respectively. Vlo and Vfe (flaps 15 degrees) are planned to be 200 knots.
Vmo - maximum operating speed. Also Mmo, Mach limit maximum operating speed.

Typical general aviation airspeeds correspond to Mach 0.2 or 0.3 or thereabouts (even when we account for the fact that the wing speeds up the air locally), and at those speeds the density never changes more than a few percent.
The same applies at very large Reynolds numbers, which are practically associated with Mach numbers larger than .

A pair of Concordes could be flying in opposite directions respectively along N864 and R8 at mach 2.02 - which is a closing speed of about 3,000mph - on their own navigation only ~10nm apart, at the same altitude, and would be deemed to be separated.
