Here in late February, 2009, the planet Mars rises just a few minutes before the Sun does. It may be possible to see Mars very low on the Eastern horizon, but you'd need to be very lucky.
By mid March, it should be possible to see Mars rising earlier and earlier in the pre-dawn morning, and by mid-April Mars will rise an hour or so before the Sun.
no...
Yes, you can see Earth from Mars at midnight, just as we can see Mars from Earth. However, the visibility will depend on the relative positions of the planets in their orbits at that time. Earth will appear as a bright point of light in the night sky of Mars.
THERE IS NO TIME ZONE ON MARS..... And since no one has ever set foot on mars there is no way to calculate time. When an unmanned spaceship arrives at Mars it is probably calculated to Houston (central) time.
No. The light from the sun has to travel farther to get to Mars, so it losses more intensity than it would if it were only traveling to Earth. As a result, the sun is dimmer on Mars than it is on Earth.
Mars. Mars rotates once in about 1.026 Earth days.Mars.
One Mars year requires 686.98 Earth solar days. Of course, if this is a "trick question", the answer would be "all the time".
The time it takes for a probe to travel from Earth to Mars varies depending on their positions in their respective orbits at the time of launch. On average, it takes around 6-9 months for a probe to travel from Earth to Mars.
Mars' period of rotation on its axis is 24.6 hours, so its day is about 36 minutes longer than an earth day. So there would be 41 days on Earth in the same time as 40 days on Mars. If you were working on Mars, you probably would not notice the difference, as you would be taking care of many other things.
if i went to mars to check without being trained i would die
Mars' distance from earth varies a lot, it all depends on where the two planets are relative to each other in their different orbits around the sun. The closest that Mars gets to Earth is near the time when they are lined up, with the earth between the sun and Mars. At this point, Mars can be as close as 54 million km (about a third of the Earth to sun distance). When Mars is on the `other side` of the solar system, with the sun between us and Mars, thats when Mars is furthest from Earth (around 400 million km). Watch out for those hoax emails! In 2003 they said that Mars will be at its closest approach for so many years and the planet would look as big as the moon - this was a hoax. Even though it did come closer to the earth for a long time, you would not have noticed it being any bigger or brighter.
About 687 Earth days.
a long time!
