No, there are not little green men on Mars. NASA has not seen any aliens on Mars with the rovers they have on Mars. If the aliens were like us they would have to breath oxygen, and there is no oxygen on Mars. I do not think there are little green men on Mars.

The first answer is lacking many details. Aliens would most likeley be biological. This means that they would evolve based on surroundings. Mars is a giant, red desert. A green alien wouldn't evolve here. It is the same reason as to why rattlesnakes aren't green or rainbow colored. To be able to blend in with surroundings means survival. Green aliens on a red planet would be quickly preyed upon by any potential Martian predator. To respond to the first answer, an alien might not breathe oxygen. Just because humans do, doesn't mean an alien would. It's not an Earthly organism. Mars is also incredibly cold. Without any insulation, an alien would likely freeze. The size is a problem, too. Taller organisms would most likely evolve with lower gravity. A small alien isn't likely, but may still have a chance.

Hair color does not determine intelligence. Intelligence is determined by a variety of factors such as genetics, environment, education, and life experiences, and is not related to hair color. It is important to avoid stereotypes and judgments based on physical appearance.

Legends are often created to provide explanations for natural phenomena, to convey moral lessons, or to celebrate heroic acts. They serve to entertain, educate, and inspire individuals and communities through shared storytelling. Additionally, legends can help people make sense of the world around them and preserve cultural heritage.

Lady Godiva was a noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry to persuade her husband, Earl Leofric, to lower taxes on the townspeople. She is said to have covered herself with her long hair or a cloak during the ride, and as a result, the townspeople respected her bravery and did not look as she passed by.

Kraken: Primarily found in Scandinavian myth, was a huge sea creature. It was said to lie at the bottom of the sea for a long time and then it would rest at the surface. When it was at the surface, sailors would mistake the creature for a chain of small islands, sometimes even landing on the creature and building camp, only to be drowned when the creature submerged. The kraken was supposed to have very large tentacles, which could seize even the largest ships. Like the Midgard serpent in the Norse myths, the Kraken was supposed to rise to the surface at the end of the world.

The "image myth" refers to the belief that one's appearance, social status, or material possessions are the most important aspects of their identity or worth. It is the idea that one's value is determined by external factors rather than internal qualities or character traits.

It is not! Although in ancient times, those stating the world was round were ridiculed, laughed at and in some instances thrown out of the science community.

The world appears to be flat from the ground level, because it is huge. It is not easy to spot that it is curved because the curve is so gradual. We can, however, tell that it is curved with some observations. When at sea, watch a ship coming over the horizon: the top part appears first, then gradually the rest comes into view. If the earth was flat, that would mean that it had started underwater. But really, it's just been coming over a curved surface towards you.

The ancient Greeks knew that the world was round, and Eratosthenes of Cyrene measured the circumference in the 2nd Century BCE. He calculated it was about 39,690 miles. Which is within 1% of the real size.

Contrary to popular belief, after the 4th Century BCE, there was no widespread belief among European scientists that the Earth is flat: all sailors knew different because of how ships appear over the horizon, for a start.

Also, the scientists had access to the writings of the Greeks, which showed very clearly that not only could you prove that the Earth is round, but also told them how to measure it.

Some people still insisted, but these people were not taken very seriously.

It's not actually flat, It's round, but the gravitational pull keeps us from falling.

In fact, people already started debating whether the world is flat in the Renaissance era.

In 1587 another party of 110 English colonists, including women and children, set sail for the New World, reaching Roanoke Island in July of that year. On August 18, one of the colonists, Eleanor Dare, gave birth to the first English-speaking child in the New World, Virginia Dare. A week later, the baby's grandfather, Capt. John White, was forced to return to England for badly needed supplies. Due to Spanish attacks on England, White was waylayed in England for three years, and when he returned to Roanoke Island in 1590 there was no sign of his granddaughter or the other colonists. Their houses were gone, and the only sign of human presence was the letters "CRO" and "CROATOAN" carved on two trees. This led some people to believe that the colonists had sought the help of the Croatoan Indians on Hatteras Island, but they were not there. The fate of the lost colonists is as much a mystery today as it was then, and their story has been retold in the outdoor drama The Lost Colony since 1937. by leann stollenwerk age 11
