Why are you younger on Mars?

A full year on Mars is about 687 earth days. That is about two earth years. This means that when you are 18 years old on the earth, you would be 9 years old on Mars. However, this doesn't mean that you'd look twice as young as you really are, you'd just have a different age but look exactly the same as you would on the Earth at your age.

How were the ancient greek able to observe venus and mars?

Venus and mars can get very bright in the sky, brighter than the brightest star. They were not using telescopes to look at surface detail, but they could observe their movements in the sky with time. They can be seen to move in relation to fixed stars over several nights due to their relative closeness and their orbits around our sun.


Which planet is it possible for the Sun to remain overhead for years at a time at either pole and for the equator to receive almost no sunlight for years?

It is only possible for the Sun to stay overhead at the poles and for the equator to receive little to no sunlight for years on end on Mars. This is due to the tilt of Mars' axis, which can cause extreme variations in sunlight exposure at different latitudes over long periods of time.


How far is mars from earth in million km?

Mars' distance from earth varies a lot, it all depends on where the two planets are relative to each other in their different orbits around the sun. The closest that Mars gets to Earth is near the time when they are lined up, with the earth between the sun and Mars. At this point, Mars can be as close as 54 million km (about a third of the Earth to sun distance). When Mars is on the `other side` of the solar system, with the sun between us and Mars, thats when Mars is furthest from Earth (around 400 million km). Watch out for those hoax emails! In 2003 they said that Mars will be at its closest approach for so many years and the planet would look as big as the moon - this was a hoax. Even though it did come closer to the earth for a long time, you would not have noticed it being any bigger or brighter.
