A trip to Mars takes months and involves crossing several million miles of space. This is enough time for the solar widn to affect the trajectory of a space craft.

How would sending astronauts into space to study the solar system compare to using telescopes and space probes?

Sending astronauts allows for hands-on exploration, sample collection, and real-time decision-making, but it is more costly and carries higher risks. Telescopes and space probes offer a safer and more cost-effective way to study the solar system, with the ability to gather large amounts of data over longer periods of time. Each method complements the other, with astronauts providing a human perspective and probes enabling extensive coverage.


Do astronauts visit planets?

No, not yet at least. The only object that astronauts have been to other than Earth is the moon, which is a moon rather than a planet. There other planets are much farther away, but there are some plans to land people on Mars.


Why would an accurate method of predicting solar flares be important to piloted space launches?

An accurate method for predicting solar flares is important for piloted space launches because solar flares can release intense bursts of energy that can pose radiation risks to astronauts and damage spacecraft electronics. By predicting solar flares, astronauts can take necessary precautions and spacecraft can be shielded in advance to mitigate potential risks caused by the increased radiation levels associated with these flares.


What do astronauts search for in Venus?

Astronauts would search for signs of past or present life, study the planet's atmosphere and climate, and investigate the possibility of establishing future human settlements. They would also conduct research to better understand Venus' geology and volcanic activity.


Why would human astronauts on a trip to mars need to be worried about solar wind?

The so-called 'solar wind' is a flow of charged particles that are injurious to living tissue. The reason we never worry about it is that we're protected from it by the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. But if the living human tissue happens to be in space, in a tin can headed for Mars, then the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field are suddenly not there, and the tissue needs to be shielded somehow from the solar wind particles. =============================== Because it is so strong that it could blow your spacecraft off-course, and you would have to use a lot of your precious and limited fuel to keep your ship on the proper heading toward where you're going to.

What countries were involved with lauching of astronauts to Saturn?

There have never been, nor will there ever be, Astronauts who land on Saturn. The gravity is too great, the air pressures are too high and the atmosphere is toxic to human life. A human would be crushed by his/her own weight given the gravity on Saturn. A human could not tolerate the atmospheric pressures on Saturn. A human could not endure the gasses in Saturn's atmosphere.

2 What probably happen if an astronauts suit spacesuit was black?

it would over heat. Black objects typically have a higher solar heat gain coefficient than lighter colors.


Will astronauts disover more planets?

I would suppose that the scientist with the super powered telescopes would discover planets before the astronauts would.
