How much more sunlight on Mars than on Earth?

Mars gets LESS sunlight than Earth does, because of its greater distance from the Sun.


Why would you weigh less on Mars than on Earth?

On Mars, you weigh 37.7% as much as you would on Earth. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 37.7 pounds on Mars. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 56.6 pounds. The equation is .37 x Earth weight = Martian weight.


Which planet is older mars or earth?

Jupiter has a longer year (about 4300 Earth days) than Mars (687 Earth days) because it is much further away from the Sun, and so has a longer distance to travel to complete one orbit (and it also goes more slowly as a result of the distance)


How big is mars compared to the earth?

Size can mean different things.Mars is just over half the diameter of Earth, and has only 11% as much mass.These are the most common "size" ratios (mars/earth):Mass: 0.107 (10.7%)Mars has 11% of the mass of Earth.Volume: 0.151 (15.1%)Mars has 15% of the volume of Earth.Mean Radius: 0.532 (53.2%)Mars has a radius about half the radius of Earth.The equatorial diameter of Mars is 6792 km (4220 miles).The equatorial diameter of Earth is 12756 km (7926 miles).


How far away is the moon from Mars?

1.899 AU (astronomical units) 2.841x10^8 km (kilometers) 176.5 million miles 1.9 x mean Earth-Sun distance ( 1 AU ) Light travel time t in vacuum from t = x/c: | 16 minutes Solar radiation pressure from P = L_(.)/(c4pir2): | 1.3 microPa (micropascals) * * * * * * Mars has 2 moons, Phobos and Deimos, at distances of 9000 and 23000 km from Mars.

How much farther from the sun is earth than mars?

Earth is closer than Mars. Earth's average distance from the sun is 150 million km, while Mars' average distance is 227 million km.


Is the moon closer to earth or is mars?

The Earth's distance from the moon or Mars is always changing. The closest the moon can get to Earth is 225,622 miles. The farthest it can get is 252,088 miles. The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.


What is the distance from moon to mars?

Forget the small distance between Earth and Moon. The distance from Earth to Mars varies a lot, because Earth's orbit around the sun is much smaller than Mars' orbit. The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers. The farthest apart they can be is about 401 million km. The average distance is about 225 million km.


Why could a person jump farther on Mars than on Earth?

A person could jump farther on Mars than on Earth due to the lower gravity on Mars. Mars has about one-third of Earth's gravity, which means there is less gravitational force pulling the person back down. This allows them to achieve greater height and distance when jumping.


How many times farther from the sun is mars than mercury?

Mars is much farther away from the Sun than Earth; the distance of Mars from the Sun is about 228,000,000 km.


How much gravity on planet Mars?

On Mars, there is low gravity, so there you could jump twice as high as you can on Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.71 m/s2, which is 0.379 times that of Earth. (The gravity on Earth is 2.64 times greater than the gravity on Mars.)


How much water doea mars have?

Mars has no liquid water. For a planet to have liquid water it must be the correct distance from the Sun like Earth.


How far is the Moon from Mars?

Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun. Mars is about 139.5 miles from the Sun. The distance between Earth and Mars depends on where each is in its orbit. At their nearest, they would be about 46.5 million miles; at their farthest, about 232.5 million. The moons of Mars are much closer to Mars itself than these distances from Mars to Earth of the Sun. So since we are rounding off distances to the half-million miles, for all practical purposes Mars and its moons are the same distance from Earth.


Which is smaller the earth or mars?

Mars is much smaller than Earth.
