What else can I help you with?
How will a astronaut land on Mars?
An astronaut landing on Mars would require a spacecraft to enter the Martian atmosphere, slow down through a combination of aerodynamic drag and parachutes, and use retro-rockets for a controlled descent to the surface. The spacecraft would need to deploy landing gear to touch down safely on the Martian terrain.
Would meteorology be useful science to apply to the study of planets such as Mars and Mercury?
Meteorology would be useful on Mars but not on Mercury. Mercury does not have a substantial atmosphere and therefore has no weather to speak of. Mars has enough of an atmosphere to produce weather such as dust storms.
Is there any erosion on planet Mars?
There are windstorms on the surface of Mars due to the heating of the atmosphere. Therefore, there would be wind erosion on the surface of Mars.
What are the Elements of mars atmosphere?
Mars has an atmosphere that's about 95% carbon dioxide.
How long would it take to build an atmosphere around Mars?
Mars already has an atmosphere. It is not known how long creating an Earthlike atmosphere because we do not have the ability to terraform planets and we do not know all of the challenges it might hold.
Would a parachute operate in Mars thin atmosphere?
yes
How would the size of parachute required for a space probe be different on Mars which has a thin atmosphere or on Mars which has a thin atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Venus is very thick, and a parachute would have much greater drag for a given size, than on Earth or Mars. So it could be smaller to achieve the same slowing of a space probe's descent. On Mars, a larger parachute would be required, but fortunately Mars, being a smaller planet, has much less gravity than Earth, so the parachute does not have to resist the same acceleration force (which is roughly the same on Venus as on Earth).
How would the size of a parachute required to safely land a space probe differ on the planet Mars?
A parachute that would function on Mars would have to be very large, much larger than one used in Earth's atmosphere, because the atmospheric pressure on Mars is much lower. The surface pressure is only about 600 pascals, about 1/160th the sea level pressure on Earth. The thinner the atmosphere, the less force exerted against the parachute as it slows a falling craft. Some Mars probes are designed to use retro-rockets and inflatable cushioning bags, to supplement their parachutes.

How would a parachute open on mars?
A parachute would open ABOVE Mars, just as it would above our planet
Why does the mars rover use a parachute if there is no wind to provide resistance?
First of all, there's plenty of wind on Mars. Second, wind is not required, only an atmosphere, and Mars has one of those too.

Would you need a big parachute to land on mars?
No, Mars is the second smallest plant in our solar system which means it has a gravitational pull less than that of Earth (an other planets), which means you could have a smaller parachute for Mars than of Earth.
What should the parachute size in mars?
Wouldn't work since there is no air at all. Edit: The atmosphere is thin, but there's enough to make a parachute work. We know this because some space probes have used parachutes to land on Mars. Sorry, I don't know what size they used.
Would a person choke on mars atmosphere?
YES they would because of the atmosphere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
How can you live on Mars?
it is possible to live on Mars but to do this you would need an atmosphere, and to have an atmosphere you need gases. To make these gases (there have been discussions about this) you would need to build factories to give off green house gases and make an atmosphere, because Mars is extremely cold at night, then we would have to get people to Mars. This would cost billions and would take a long time to build the atmosphere.
Were Inflated balloons were used to land the pathfinder on mars?
A parachute and solid rockets were used to slow it down as it went through the atmosphere and airbags were used to cushion the impact.
