This is a very good question but from research that I have done in previous years would say the answer would be no because mars does not have some characteristics that earth does have. Mars does not have trees and and ocean. They have no food supply except rock. But no, I am afraid we would not be living on mars, sorry!

There are some reports of scientists finding ice on Mars, so it is possible that, if Mars were where earth is, Mars would have life. It is roughly the same size, which would create a similar climate. One problem, however, is its rotation. Because of the slow speed at which Mars rotates, one side would be perpetually cold, and one hot, so life would have to survive only along the rim between the areas.

If the earth were closer to the sun, it would likely be too hot for humans to live in, but there are some bacteria that live comfortably in hot springs, so an alternate form of life may arise.

If the situation in your question were to occur, 'we' as a human race may not live on mars, but likely some other species would.

How old is a 10-year-old on Mars?

A year on Mars lasts 687 Earth days. Do a little math - 365/687=53%.53% of 10 is 5.3 years old or 5 years 109.5 days old.Sort of ...If you want to use Mars years, you should also use Mars days for your final answer.10 Earth years = 5.316886 Mars years.The Mars solar day is 1.027491 Earth solar days.Converting to Mars solar days, 0.316886 Mars years would be 217.7 Earth-days (not 109.5 days) or 211.9 Mars-daysSo in Martian years and days, someone who is exactly 10 Earth Years old would be 5 Mars-years, 212 Mars-days old.(remember the .3 in the 5.3 "years" is Mars-years, not Earth years so you have to multiply it by 687 Earth-days, not 365 Earth-days)


If you weighed 1001 lbs on earth what would you weigh on Mars?

how much would you weigh if you were 1001lbs on earth then you went to mars


If you weight 100 pounds on Earth What would you weight on Mars?

Mars's gravitational pull is 38% that of Earth's, meaning you would weigh 38 pounds on that planet.


How old would you be on Mars if you are 8?

Well you'd still be eight.Depends on what you use as your time reference.If you used the Earth as your reference point for a year, and you went to Mars, you would still be eight.Using Mars as your refernce point for a year, then for the same period, you would only be 4.25 years old and would not have to go to school yet.


How would the pull of gravity be different on Mars than earth?

The gravity on Mars is 0.379 that of Earth.


Does mars have a strong or weak gravity?

Mars is a lot less massive than Earth. Therefore gravity is less than you would experience on Earth. Gravity on Mars is about 38% that of what you experience on Earth. Therefore is you weigh 100kg on Earth, you would only weigh 38kg on Mars.


Would a person float by gravity on mars?

No. The gravity on Mars is much weaker than the gravity on Earth but it is still significant. You could jump higher but you couldn't float.


How much does a person weigh on Mars?

A man on Mars would weigh 38% of his weight on the Earth. This means that to find out a man's weight on Mars, you have to multiply their weight by 0.38. example: 100 pound man on the Earth weighs 100 X 0.38 = 38 pounds on Mars
