How to Make Space in Morse Code?
Space Between Dots and Dashes in a Character: This is a very short pause, almost the duration of one dot. It separates the dots and dashes that make up a single character.
Space Between Characters: This is a slightly longer pause, about the duration ofthree dots. It separates individual characters, like the numbers or letters in a word.
Space Between Words or Distinct Parts of a Message: This is the longest pause, about the duration of seven dots. It separates words or different parts of a message.
Example: Writing "2024 year"
2024 in Morse Code:
"2" is "..---"
"0" is "-----"
"4" is "....-"
So, "..--- ----- ....-" represents "2024", with a pause of three dots between each number.
Space Between "2024" and "year": After "2024", leave a longer pause (seven dots) before starting "year".
"year" in Morse Code:
"y" is "-.--"
"e" is "."
"a" is ".-"
"r" is ".-."
Combining these with a three-dot pause between each letter gives "-.-- . .- .-." for "year".
Putting it all together, "2024 year" in Morse code with the correct spacing is:
..--- ----- ....- (Pause for seven dots) -.-- . .- .-.
Here, the seven-dot pause between "2024" and "year" distinctly separates the number from the word, ensuring that the message is read correctly as "2024 year" and not as a continuous string of numbers and letters.
