Best Answer

Approximately 0,6% of Earth normal, about 6,36 millibars (600 pascals)

It is however 20 times thiner on top of the Mont Olympus (30 pascals), and practically 2 times thicker in the depths of Hellas Planitia (1155 pascals).

The higher pressure areas, if combined with temperatures ranging from 0,1° C to 10° C, would be compatible with the presence of stable liquid water.

How much air mass needed to raise Mars' atmosphere to Earth's atmospheric pressure?

It would need around 4x1018 kg of air to raise Mars' atmosphere to earth's atmospheric pressure. The answer is formulated under general pressure-depth relation assuming ratio of atmosphere depth is very small to the planet's diameter. P = m.g/A P = pressure = 101300 Pascal at earth's sea level m = mass of air [=] kg g = Mars gravity = 3.7 m/s2 A = surface area of Mars [=] m2

Mars


Why does Mars have low atmospheric pressure?

Mars has a low atmospheric pressure reading because there is a lighter atmosphere, which means less air, which means less weight or pressure.

Can a x-37 land on mars?

No. Although the gravity on the surface of Mars is only about 1/3rd of the Earth's, the atmosphere is much thinner, mean air pressure on Mars is less than 1% of sea level pressure. The wings of the X-37 would not generate enough lift for a safe landing. Also, Mars doesn't have any runways ;)
