What does Mars smell like?

Answer 1

Sorry to down your feelings right now. But no one has ever even touched Jupiter let alone smell it. If you did touch Jupiter you would be crushed instantly because of its pressure. But if you could smell Jupiter I would say it doesn't smell of anything because no ones been there and its made of helium and hydrogen which doesn't have a smell to it. But Jupiter is made out of gases such as methane, vapor, water, and ethane so there might be some sort of a smell to it, Jupiter probably smells like natural gas.

Answer 2

No one can be sure, because no one has ever been there. But it could be very bad.

Its atmosphere is composed of dense carbon dioxide, and any smells would be from the remnants of volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide. But your nose would melt off instantly there, because the temperature at the surface is 860°F or 460°C.

Answer 3

Venus is nearly as large as Earth, but closer to the Sun. Its carbon dioxide atmosphere is incredibly dense and its surface is ferociously hot, and clouds of sulfuric acid block it from our view. But we have found that there are no oceans there, in fact no liquid water, and apparently no life at all.

As some Russian landing probes discovered, the surface is a pressure cooker, hot enough to melt lead. The surface is mostly barren lava plains covered with reddish rocks and dust. There are numerous volcanic features, but almost all are low, flat, and extinct. It looks much like some of the surface of Mars, despite the vast difference in pressure and heat found on the two planets.

Answer 4

Mars doesn't have an atmosphere that humans could breathe, so we wouldn't be able to smell anything if we were on the planet. However, scientific instruments have detected chemical compounds in the Martian atmosphere that suggest it might have a musty or metallic smell.

Answer 5

Assuming a person could breathe the atmosphere long enough to catch a whiff, it would likely smell of rust/blood because of the abundance of iron oxides on the surface.

Answer 6

EXTREMELY warm

85% of it is lava
