Mars is so far away in fact that it takes radio signals quite a long time to get from the spacecraft back to Earth. During Curiosity EDL, this delay will be 13 minutes, 48 seconds, about mid-way between the minimum delay of around 4 minutes and the maximum of around 24 minutes.

Which other planet in the solar system is most like earth?
The planet that most resembles Earth in many factors is Mars. However, no planet most resembles the Earth in all factors.
Is earth the closest planet to Jupiter?
No. Generally speaking, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. The actual distance that Venus is from Earth varies, depending on where it is during its orbit around the sun relative to that of Earth. When Venus and Earth are on the same side of the sun, they are 38.2x106km apart; when they are on opposite sides of the sun, they are 261.0x106km apart.Mars is the second planet closest to Earth. However, if Venus is on the opposite side of the sun, Mars could temporary be closest to Earth. Mars's distance from Earth varies, from 55.7x106km when they are both at the same side of the sun, to 401.3x106km, when they are on opposite sides of the sun.
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
Why we don't get dizziness or why we not rotating when the earth rotates?
It's a little like being on a bus or a train that's traveling at a constant velocity (not slowing down or speeding up). As long as the speed remains constant, you don't feel like you're losing your balance. It's the same standing on the earth while it's rotating. You will not get dizzy because it takes a whole day to rotate once.
How long is one year on other planets in comparison to earth?
A year on our planet is 365.25 Earth days. Other planets take more or less time depending on their orbital distances from the Sun. Mercury - 88 Earth days Venus - 225 Earth days Mars - 687 Earth days Jupiter - 11.86 Earth years Saturn - 29.46 Earth years Uranus - 84 Earth years Neptune - 164.8 Earth years Pluto (now a dwarf planet) - 247.7 Earth years
Do mars and earth travel at the same speed?
no
Why humans don't feel the earth travel?
Humans are traveling at the same speed as the earth.
Which planet rotates at the same speed as earth?
Mars has a similar rotation speed as the Earth - 24 hours and 38 minutes.
Why is it easier to stand up in a dust devil on Mars than in the same equivalent-speed event here on Earth?
That's because the atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than Earth's. So, there's much less energy in the wind at the same speed.
How is Mars linked to the earth?
Mars is in the same solar system is earth meaning mars and earth share the same sun.
What is the speed of rotation of Mars?
The equatorial rotational speed for the planet Mars is about 868.22 km/hr or 540 mph. This is far slower than the rotation of Earth (1674.4 km/hr), giving the two planets roughly the same period of rotation (Mars day = 24.6 Earth hours).
How do mars and earth hours compare?
Because those two planets rotate on their axis at about the same speed.
If a car is traveling at the same speed for a long time it is said to be traveling at what?
cruising speed
Do Mars and Earth have about the same diameter?
No. Mars has about half the diameter of Earth.
Is gravity on mars the same as on earth?
No. Gravity on Mars is about 38% of what it is on Earth.
Does Mars have the same galaxy as earth?
The Earth and Mars are in the same star system, and therefore are also in the same galaxy.
If Mar's were somehow positioned into the same orbit as Earth's. How would it's time to circle the Sun compare with Earth's?
The speed and the orbital distance are directly related. If Mars were in Earth's orbit, it would either move with the same speed that the Earth does, or it would fall into the Sun.
