Mars is smaller than earth with less gravity. It also has a very thin CO2 atmosphere where Earth has a Nitrogen-Oxygen atmosphere that is much thicker. Mars is also very cold while Earth is warm.

  • Earth is almost twice the diameter of Mars.
  • Nearly 70% of Earth's surface is liquid water, while Mars has none.
  • The sun warms the Earth to more the 100oF; on Mars the temperature barely goes above the freezing mark.
  • Earth has an atmosphere breathable by humans. Mars has virtually none, and it is composed almost entirely of toxic gases.
  • IIRC, Mars is about 1 1/2 time farther from the sun than Earth; and is about 1/2 the size, and 3/4 the density.
  • Its surface is largely iron oxide, which gives it its reddish color. There is no liquid water (there is ice at the poles). Because is it has a much thinner atmosphere, and is farther from the sun, it is much colder.
  • Astronomers speculate that Mars was once much closer to the sun and was more "earthlike," but gradually moved farther away, resulting in its present state.

What are the similarities and differences between Earths early environment?

Similarities: Both Earth's early environment and Mars's early environment had water sources, volcanic activity, and a thin atmosphere. Differences: Earth's early environment had a stronger magnetic field, which helped protect its atmosphere from solar winds and retain water, whereas Mars's weak magnetic field led to the loss of most of its atmosphere and surface water. Additionally, Earth experienced plate tectonics and a stable climate, while Mars did not.
