Mars has higher levels of radiation compared to Earth due to its thin atmosphere and lack of a global magnetic field. This can be harmful to humans on the surface, so protective measures would be necessary for long-duration missions.

Can an amphibian live on Mars?

No it cannot. Not only do amphibians need liquid water (which Mars does not have), they also need food and oxygen. Mars also has a very thin atmosphere and a very weak magnetosphere, which does not block much of the sun's radiation. That radiation would kill anything on the surface. Mars is also very cold.


How will you handle radiation from sun from mars?

It is difficult for humans to be on Mars due to the lack of a magnetic field or thick atmosphere. Humans could explore Mars by shielding themselves, such as with being in a dome or underground, much like the International Space Station being shielded by the radiation.


Is Mars a desert?
