How would the size of parachute required for a space probe be different on Mars which has a thin atmosphere or on Mars which has a thin atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Venus is very thick, and a parachute would have much greater drag for a given size, than on Earth or Mars. So it could be smaller to achieve the same slowing of a space probe's descent. On Mars, a larger parachute would be required, but fortunately Mars, being a smaller planet, has much less gravity than Earth, so the parachute does not have to resist the same acceleration force (which is roughly the same on Venus as on Earth).

How would the size of parachute required on a space probe to allow it to land safely on a planet such as venus which has a thick atmosphere?
It would need to have a small parachute for a planet such as venus, because the atmospheric pressure is about 90 times that on Earth. This increases air resistance (drag) slowing the probe down. Therefore, the small parachute allows the probe to have more acceleration.

How do the size of a parachutes required on thick atmosphere?
In a thick atmosphere, such as on Earth, larger parachutes are typically required to generate enough drag to slow down a descending object safely. This is because the denser air provides more resistance, necessitating a larger surface area to counteract gravity effectively and achieve a controlled descent. Smaller parachutes may not offer enough drag force to slow down the descent adequately in thicker atmospheres.
How would the size of a parachute required to safely land a space probe differ on the planet Mars?
A parachute that would function on Mars would have to be very large, much larger than one used in Earth's atmosphere, because the atmospheric pressure on Mars is much lower. The surface pressure is only about 600 pascals, about 1/160th the sea level pressure on Earth. The thinner the atmosphere, the less force exerted against the parachute as it slows a falling craft. Some Mars probes are designed to use retro-rockets and inflatable cushioning bags, to supplement their parachutes.

Has a space probe been to Jupiter?
Yes, the Galileo spacecraft sent a probe down into the atmosphere of Jupiter in 1995.
What is the use of parachute in a space mission?
A parachute is used in a space mission to slow down and safely land a spacecraft or a probe back on Earth. It helps to reduce the speed of descent, allowing for a controlled landing and protecting the equipment inside from damage.
Did a robot ever land on Jupiter?
No. Nothing can land on Jupiter as it does not have a solid surface. The Galileo spacecraft orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2002. In 1995 an atmospheric probe with the Galileo mission entered Jupiter's atmosphere to study it. The probe eventually melted as it entered the superheated layers deep in Jupiter's atmosphere. In 2002 the main Galileo space probe burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere at the end of its mission.
Is there a synonym for atmosphere probe?
Atmospheric probe is a commonly used term, and there are no widely recognized synonyms for it. However, you could use terms like atmospheric sensor or atmospheric instrument to refer to similar devices used for studying the atmosphere.
Will a 92 Ford Probe front window fit in a 93 Ford Probe?
no, they are different body styles.
What is an atmosphere probe?
An atmosphere probe is a spacecraft or instrument designed to study the atmospheric conditions of a planet or moon. It is typically launched into space and sent to the target celestial body to collect data such as temperature, pressure, composition, and other relevant atmospheric properties.
