It is very cold. It could be as high as 60 degrees F during the day in the summer but it will fall to -100 F at night and -200 during the winter. The atmosphere is filled with carbon dioxide but it is too thin for warming through the greenhouse effect. It is dry and the planet doesn't have a magnetosphere so the surface is bombarded with deadly cosmic rays.

The soil on Mars is mainly composed of fine-grained particles like silicates, oxides, and sulfates. It also contains minerals like iron oxide, which gives the planet its reddish color.

Compared to earth what is gravity like on mars?

The surface gravity on mars is about 38% of earth. So If you weigh 100 lbs on earth you would only weigh 38lbs on mars. basically you would be light as F***


What if mars was where earth is today and earth was where mars was would there be life on Mars or would we still live on earth?

This is a very good question but from research that I have done in previous years would say the answer would be no because mars does not have some characteristics that earth does have. Mars does not have trees and and ocean. They have no food supply except rock. But no, I am afraid we would not be living on mars, sorry!There are some reports of scientists finding ice on Mars, so it is possible that, if Mars were where earth is, Mars would have life. It is roughly the same size, which would create a similar climate. One problem, however, is its rotation. Because of the slow speed at which Mars rotates, one side would be perpetually cold, and one hot, so life would have to survive only along the rim between the areas.If the earth were closer to the sun, it would likely be too hot for humans to live in, but there are some bacteria that live comfortably in hot springs, so an alternate form of life may arise.If the situation in your question were to occur, 'we' as a human race may not live on mars, but likely some other species would.
