How is Earh different than Mars?
Mass, gravity, magnetic field, the moon, distance from the sun.
Is the planet Mars non magnetic?
Mars has a magnetic field.
Is mars magnetic field strong or weak?
no mars magnetic field is not strong because it is far away from the sun than earth.
How did mars die down?
Out of all the theories out there the most compeling is that Mars magnetic field stopped working (there are also many theories on that too). Without a magnetic field, combined with the low gravity, the Solar wind slowly eroded the atmosphere and the water that was in it. This happened really early in Mars billions of years ago.
Does earth's magnetic field cause gravity?
No, Earth's magnetic field does not cause gravity because there are two different types of forces.
Does Mars have a Magnetic Field?
yes mars does alond with Saturn and uranus
Can earth loose atmosphere when magnetic field changes?
Earth's magnetic field is weaking such as it did on Mars, so are we also going to loose our own atmosphere as mars did?
What is the magnetic field of Mars like?
Mars no longer has a magnetic field. Look at earth for a moment. The earth's magnetic field is generally thought to be the product of dynamo action associated with motion (currents) in the molten fluid core of the earth. Other planets that have magnetic fields are, in general, thought to have this same or a similar source for their fields. Mars no longer has a molten core. Our studies have revealed that there are parts of the crust of Mars that have been magnetized. We see that these areas have a residual magnetic field that has been left as an "impression" of the original magnetic field of the red planet. And that field has changed polarity at different times over the period when Mars still actually had a natural magnetic field and it magnetized portions of the crust. A link to the Wikipedia article on Mars is provided.
Is a magnetic field needed to create gravity?
No.
What is magnetism on Mars?
The magnetic field on Mars is only residual, it collapsed many eons ago.
Why is mars magnetic field really weak?
The exact reason for Mars' weak magnetic field is not fully understood yet, but one possibility is that its core is cooling down and not generating enough heat to sustain a strong magnetic field. Another factor is Mars' smaller size and slower rotation compared to Earth, which may have led to the depletion of its magnetic field over time.
Does mars has magnetic field?
Yes, but it is much less than Earth's.
