Why could a person jump farther on Mars than on Earth?

Mars is much smaller than Earth, so it has less of a gravitational pull. Objects on the surface of Mars will only weigh about 2/5 as much as they weigh on Earth (38% as much). The acceleration by gravity on Mars is only 3.71 m/sec/sec compared to 9.8 m/sec/sec on Earth.


Why is Mars too cold to live on?

It is farther away from the sun than Earth is.


How does Mars gets it light?

The sun shines on Mars, just as it shines on the Earth. Since Mars is farther from the sun than the Earth is, it gets less sunlight.


If your planet Earth was the same distance from the Sun as Mars is would the surface of your planet be as cold as Mars is?

No. The light from the sun has to travel farther to get to Mars, so it losses more intensity than it would if it were only traveling to Earth. As a result, the sun is dimmer on Mars than it is on Earth.

Why does Mars have no oceans or signs of life?

Mars is farther from the Sun than the Earth. The requirements to develop life on Mars were far less than on the Earth which had, at the time of the planets' formation, the ideal conditions to develop life.


Could a person could jump further on mars than on Saturn?

No, a person could not jump further on Mars than on Saturn. Mars has lower gravity than Earth but Saturn has much stronger gravity than both Mars and Earth, making jumping farther on Saturn impossible due to the higher gravitational pull.
