Is mars a similar shape to other planets?
no
Phobos and Deimos are the names of Mars'?
The moons of Mars. They have an irregular shape and look similar to the asteroids in the asteroid belt. That is probably where Mars got them.
What physical shape do you need to be in to survive the journey to mars?
Technically, it is impossible at the moment. But soon scientists will have the technology to send man to Mars. You would have to be in good shape- the pressure loss in space would make your body fall apart if you didn't exercise EVERY day.
Why are mars moons and the smaller moons of the outer planets an irregular shape while the larger moons discussed in the exploration are spherical?
Mars' moons are much smaller than, for example, Earth's Moon, or the larger moons of Jupiter. A large moon will have a larger gravity, which will tend to pull the moon together into a spherical shape.
What are the shapes of the mars moons?
When sufficient material coalesce (clump together) in space, the favored shape is a sphere. With asteroids & comets, there is usually insufficient mass to form a spherical shape due to gravity. This is why such objects can have a variety of shapes, like that of a potato or even craggy stalactite-like formations. If such objects obtain enough mass, the mutual attraction of gravity will cause them to assume a spherical shape. To be 100% accurate, planets like Mars, Earth, Jupiter, etc..., are generally spherical in shape, but would be better described as an "oblate spheroid," or a slightly, flattened sphere. Due to the rotation of a planet on its axis, the equatorial diameter is usually a little greater than the north-south diameter. This rotation imparts a (very) slight centrifugal force, which would be greatest at the equator.
How does the shape of mars compare with the shape of stars in the sky?
they are the same shape, a circle
What is Mars's shape?
A big, red, sphere
Is mars a similar shape to other planets?
no
What shape is Mars?
Overal the shape of the planet Mars is round. However, there is some indentations in the planet that make it a little distorted and not perfectly round.
What of size or shape of Mars?
Mar in like a ball
What shape is the solar system and how long will it take to get to mars?
the shape of the solar system is an oval and if a unmanned probe gos to mars it will take 7 months and the distance will be at least 36 million miles
How did mars moons get there shape?
Phobos and Deimos are oddly shaped. Because they reflect so little light, Phobos and Deimos are among the darkest in the solar system. They weren't really moons to start with. They were pulled in by Mars's gravitational fields. They once were asteroids. That is how Mars's moon got there shape.
Is Mars round?
The planet Mars is round in shape. All of the planets in our solar system are orbits. The gravitational pull of the sun has formed the planets to be around.
What force is currently responsiable for shapeing mar's surface?
The wind erosion is mostly responsible for the shape of planet Mars as well as the space debris that impact Mars.
Phobos and Deimos are the names of Mars'?
The moons of Mars. They have an irregular shape and look similar to the asteroids in the asteroid belt. That is probably where Mars got them.
What is the same about earth and mars?
They are both rocky, relatively the same size and shape, contain water (though mars has only trace amounts). Both have atmospheres, are relatively close to the sun. Both hypothetically capable of supporting life. But if you need to compare them they would be the same.earth similar to mars is sphere shape .
What is the width height and length of mars?
Mars doesn't have any of these dimensions. Its shape is very close to being a sphere, so it has a radius (or diameter), but none of the dimensions listed in the question.
