When will curiosity come back to earth?

NASA's Curiosity rover is not designed to return to Earth; it is intended to operate on Mars for as long as possible, exploring the planet's surface and conducting scientific experiments. Launched in 2011, it has been active since landing on Mars in August 2012, and its mission could last many more years, depending on its systems and power supply. Future missions to Mars may involve sample return missions, but Curiosity itself will remain on the Martian surface indefinitely.


Can you see the Milky Way from Mars?

Yes, it is possible to see the Milky Way from Mars. However, the view of the Milky Way from Mars may be different compared to Earth due to the thin atmosphere and lack of light pollution on Mars. Astronomers have even captured images of the Milky Way from Mars using rovers such as Curiosity.


How does the curiosity not float away while on Mars?

Just like Earth's gravity holds you to Earth, and doesn't let you float away, Mars, too, has some gravity (less than Earth), which won't simply let objects float away into space.


What size is mars core?

Mars has a core that is estimated to be about 1,600 to 2,000 kilometers (1,000 to 1,200 miles) in radius. It is believed to be composed primarily of iron, with some nickel and possibly sulfur or other lighter elements. The core is partially liquid, which may contribute to the planet's weak magnetic field. This core size is smaller relative to Mars' overall diameter of approximately 6,779 kilometers (4,212 miles).


Dust devils as tall as mount Everest whirl across the surface of mars true or false?

As extraordinary as it may seem, this is in fact true. Dust devils on Mars commonly reach a height of 10 kilometers and a width of 1 kilometer. Mount Everest is only 8 kilometers high. These dust devils are 2 kilometers higher than Mount Everest. By comparison, the highest dust devils on earth are only 1 kilometer high and 0.02 kilometers wide.

What can you do on Mars?

On Mars, you can explore the terrain with rovers like NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance, conduct scientific research on the planet's geology and atmosphere, and potentially establish habitats for human settlement in the future. Additionally, Mars offers unique opportunities for studying the possibility of past or present life beyond Earth.

The Phoenix mars lander was launched in August 2007 and arrived in May 2008 how long was the journey between Earth and Mars?

Because Earth and Mars are moving in their paths around the sun, the Phoenix spacecraft had to both "veer" outward towards Mars and then catch up to the moving planet. Therefore, the total distance traveled by the spacecraft was about 680 million kilometers (423 million miles). (Think of one runner trying to catch up to another runner on a track. Even though the two may be close together, they may run a significant distance around the track before the 2nd runner catches up). At the time Phoenix was launched (Aug 2007), the Earth-Mars distance was 196 million km (122 million miles). At the time of landing, the distance between the two planets was 276 million km (171 million miles).
