Wouldn't work since there is no air at all.
Edit: The atmosphere is thin, but there's enough to make a parachute work.
We know this because some space probes have used parachutes to land on Mars. Sorry, I don't know what size they used.
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).

A parachute would open ABOVE Mars, just as it would above our planet
For a middle school project, you should design a parachute that is the right size for a small action figure. You can make the parachute out of an old pair of parachute pants.
Mars rovers are lowered by parachute to near touchdown, where balloons inflate, the parachute is released, and the balloons cushion the craft till it stops bouncing.
The rovers were lowered on the planet mars , with the help of a parachute.
yes
No, Mars is the second smallest plant in our solar system which means it has a gravitational pull less than that of Earth (an other planets), which means you could have a smaller parachute for Mars than of Earth.
Because the gravity of Mars is only 37% that of Earth
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.
By parachute. See related link for a photo.
Yes! I would not want to jump with a miniaturized parachute...
