Scientist really cannot see enough detail on Mars to be sure. There probably is water on Mars and scientist have been studying whether there used to be life there. They are looking for living bacteria and searching for tiny fossils that might indicate life,

How are the moon's craters evidence that large meteoroids probably hit Earth?

Looking at the evidence of meteor strikes on the moon is obvious. It would be logical to assume that celestial bodies have struck the earth in the past even though the evidence has been covered up by erosion, plant, growth, and other environmental factors.

Which place on earth is the most likely to be overhead at midday?

No place will be over your head. Perhaps you mean 'where will the sun be overhead'. This is somewhere between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, depending on the date.


Can astronauts see other planets from the moon?

Yes. Since the moon occupies essentially the same place in the solar system as Earth does its sky offers pretty much the same view. In fact the moon's lack of an atmosphere likely means that you could see the planets even more clearly than you can from Earth.


What moons atmosphere is like earth?

In our solar system, there is no moon that has an atmosphere which resembles that of the Earth. Note that the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere is the result of photosynthesis performed by green plants, and there is no other place in the solar system that has green plants (or any other kind of life that has yet been discovered). It remains theoretically possible and perhaps even likely that there are planets and moons elsewhere in the galaxy which have atmospheres resembling that of the Earth, but they have not actually been detected, and considering the great distances involved, perhaps they never will be.

What evidence is there that suggest that there is life on other planets?

There is no such evidence. While it seems likely that, given that life appeared on Earth, it may also have appeared elsewhere, there is no actual evidence that makes it even likely that life DID appear in any specific place.


Where are earthquakes most likely to take place?

Earth quakes tend to take place where the edges of tectonic plates meet. There is no one specific place where earth quakes happen, but California does have a lot of earthquakes. Earth quakes are caused by two plate sliding over each other, colliding into each other or pulling away from each other.

Where can you find microorganisms?

Microorganisms live everywhere. There is not one place on earth that does not have bacteria or some other one-celled organism living there. There have even been meteors and evidence from Mars with evidence that bacteria once lived in the rocks.
