Why do you think that scientists have explored mars more than the other planets?

Answer 1

The planet's accessibility to observation, all other planets within telescopic range have their surfaces hidden by clouds, except for Mercury, whose nearness to the sun makes viewing difficult.

Answer 2

One reason is the fact that Mars is the closest planet to Earth, so it's very easy to see, and it only takes a couple of years to get there with a probe. Since it's so close, it is able to be studied to a greater degree of detail, so we inevitably know more about it than other planets that are farther away.

Another reason is that between Mars and Venus, the 2 planets closest to the Earth, Mars is much more easy to study. It would be almost pointless to send a probe to Venus because it would have a hard time surviving the landing through it's thick and scorching atmosphere, not to mention being crushed under it's extreme gravity once it has landed. Since Mars has a thin atmosphere and it is neither extremely hot or cold, it has much more ideal conditions under which it can be studied.

Answer 3

In many ways, Mars more closely resembles earth than any other body in the Solar System, and

almost certainly had water and a denser atmosphere at some point earlier in it's history. Did simple life forms evolve there briedly before the planet went dead? That's probably the #1 question scientists would like to study on the Martian surface.

Answer 4

Because it's closer to Earth than the other planets.

Answer 5

Mars is being studied because scientist wants to know if Mars might have been hospitable for microbial life in the past, or might be conducive to life now.

Answer 6

Because it's the nearest planet to earth and they want to see if when earth gets destroyed the people in 10,000 or so years could travel to mars

Answer 7

because it is nearer to Earth.
