Mars is certainly not a very hospitable environment for life as we know it. Mars has a very thin atmosphere, which consists mainly of carbon dioxide (it once had a much higher oxygen content, but its atmosphere literally snowed onto the planet and combined with iron in the soil). Mars has very little water, and its water is found in polar ice caps. The soil on Mars consists largely of iron oxide (rust), and thus wouldn't be great for growing plants. Because Mars' core is inactive, the planet has no magnetosphere, and thus no protection from solar wind. This means that any life on Mars could easily be killed by lethal nuclear radiation. Additionally, Mars' lack of a substantial atmosphere means its surface is not protected from harmful electromagnetic radiation. To top it all off, the warmest Mars ever gets is about 35 degrees Celsius, or 95 degrees Fahrenheit (308 Kelvin). The coldest it gets, on the other hand, is about -143 degrees Celsius, or -225 degrees Fahrenheit (130 K). This is far too cold for life as we know it to survive. The primary disadvantage of living on Mars, as of now, is certain death.

well basically, it does have alot of similarities with earth but the temperature over there is far more harsh. the scientists don't know if the atmosphere in mars is toxic. and it is a low pressure area.....and also we don't have the right equipment for this expedition but i bet they are gonna go in the future!!

mars is smaller than earth and there are about 7 billion people living in earth so i don't think that they are gonna fit there..but even if they do it'll be really suffocating ...
