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 would a parachute land safely on Mars which has a thin atmosphere?
Because the gravity of Mars is only 37% that of Earth
Can 2 people safely land using a parachute designed for 1?
yeah if they are flying tandem on top of each other
Why when you use parachute the acceleration decrease?
when we use parachute, the wide surface area can decrease the velocity of the fallen object. thus, the drag force will also decrease. consequently, acceleration will be zero when the velocity is constant. finally, the object can land more safely without huge impact.
Why is the atmosphere warming?
The atmosphere is warming because the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) in the greenhouse gases of the atmosphere is holding in more of the sun's heat. There is extra CO2 in the atmosphere because by burning coal, oil and natural gas (fossil fuel) we have released CO2 that had been safely concealed underground for millions of years. This has put pressure on the carbon cycle which has not been able to remove it.
Is jupiter a good choice for a space colony?
No, it is not. Jupiter has no solid surface on which we could build a colony, and the planet's violent winds would make it impossible to safely maintain a floating colony.

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.
Can you put the word parachute in a sentence?
The man jumped out of a plane using a parachute so he would fall safely to the ground. We used a parachute so we could land safely on ground.
How do you land safely from high altitudes?
With a parachute
What are the advantages of the parachute used in water rockets?
If you have a parachute, then it allows your water rocket to land safely.
Would you need a parachute on the moon?
It would be better to say that a parachute would be completely useless on the moon. The moon has no atmosphere so a parachute would not slow you down. And yes, you would need to slow down to land safely. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's but a high enough fall would still be lethal. Safely landing on an airless world like the moon requires firing a rocket to slow your descent.
Why did he design the parachute?
"He" wanted people to be safe. Like if they had a plain crash the could put on a parachute and glide safely to the ground
What would held you float safely to the ground from an airplane?
A parachute would help you float safely to the ground from an airplane.
Which energy is used in parachute?
A parachute is an umbrella-like shape of material from which a person hangs by lines. It is used to allow a person to jump from an aeroplane, balloon, etc, and to safely land on the ground. No gas is involved, apart from the atmosphere the parachutist descends through.
What are the disadvantages and advantages of parachute?
A parachute allows a person to jump out of a plane and land safely on the ground. A disadvantage is that (rarely) a parachute may fail to fully open and injury and death is likely.
How does a parachute enable a person to jump without getting hurt?
A parachute slows down the descent of a person by creating drag and increasing air resistance. When a person jumps with a parachute, the parachute opens up and generates enough drag to slow down the fall, allowing the person to land safely without getting hurt.
How do you use the parachute in gta 4 Liberty City?
For xbox 360 ONLY, press RT to put the parachute on, get on a building or in a helicopter, jump off, press A to activate the parachute, you can press Y to remove your parachute but you will fall either safely in water, or to your death on land.
