The elements of the meteorite and composition of trapped gases would be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere and the planetary crust at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.

Why is it important to indentify the gases trapped inside mars meteorites?

The trapped gases identify the meteorites as Martian in the first place, because their abundance closely matches the gases identified by probes on Mars. The gas composition would also be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere (and possibly the planetary crust) at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could also give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.


Does Mars have alliens?

It may be that there are some bacteria on Mars; there is even the possibility that life originated on Mars and arrived on Earth via meteorites - which would make us all descended from Martians!


Who sent the first Land Rover to mars?

The first Land Rover sent to Mars was the Mars rover named "Sojourner," which was part of the Mars Pathfinder mission launched by NASA in 1996. It landed on Mars on July 4, 1997, and was the first rover to successfully operate on the Martian surface.


How can you tell that the moon has been bombarded with meteorites?

The impact craters on the moon's surface are obvious clues to the fact that meteorites have crashed into our natural satellite. that tell us that the moon doesn't have oxygen because if it have oxygen the meteorites would burn


Which cemetery in the US is the corpse of a Martian buried with full Christian rites?

There is no cemetery where a burial of that description was conducted. No life on Mars has ever been detected, let along Martian life transfered to Earth.


How old would a 13 year old be on mars?

A Martian year is roughly 687 earth days, which equates to a 13 year old on Mars being around 6.9 years old in Martian years. (But technically speaking, he is still 13 years old according to us ;P) Hope this helps.


What did the Mariner and viking missions to Mars tell us?

The Mariner and Viking missions to Mars provided valuable information about the Martian atmosphere, surface features, and potential for supporting life. They confirmed the presence of water in the past, discovered evidence of ancient river valleys and volcanoes, and conducted the first successful lander mission on Mars, which included taking images and analyzing soil samples.


How can studying meteorites help us understand the composition of asteroids?

Meteorites help us understand the composition of asteroids because meteorites are small asteroids.


Are there any spaceships on Mars?

There is a small collection of hardware like the Mars Rover(s) and other Mars landers on the planet, yes - but everything that could be called a "spaceship" that is on Mars came from earth, and was sent by us.


Are all the Mars rovers from NASA?

Yes. As far as is known, the only research vehicles presently operating on the Martian surface are those placed there by the US, and the US' space exploration program is the only one to have landed hardware on Mars so far.


Is there iron on Mars?

Oh, that's a lovely question. You see, Mars does indeed have iron. In fact, the red color of the Martian surface comes from the iron oxide, also known as rust, on its soil. Isn't it amazing to think about the treasures that the universe holds?
