All about Mars?

Asked by Wiki User

Mars, often called the "Red Planet," is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. It's known for its reddish appearance due to iron oxide (rust) on its surface. Here's a brief overview:

  1. **Physical Characteristics**: Mars has a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide. It has polar ice caps, which consist of water and frozen carbon dioxide. The planet has diverse terrain, including mountains, valleys, and vast plains.

  2. **Moons**: Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are irregularly shaped and likely captured asteroids.

  3. **Exploration**: Mars has been the subject of numerous space missions. Notable ones include the Viking missions in the 1970s, the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity, and more recent missions like NASA's Perseverance rover.

  4. **Potential for Life**: Mars is a prime target for the search for past or present life beyond Earth. Evidence suggests that liquid water existed on its surface in the past, and there are regions where it may still exist underground.

  5. **Future Missions**: Several space agencies and private companies have plans for future missions to Mars, including crewed missions. These missions aim to further explore the planet, study its geology, and potentially prepare for human settlement.

  6. **Challenges**: Mars exploration poses numerous challenges, including the harsh environment, distance from Earth, and the need for advanced technology to support human life.

Overall, Mars continues to captivate the imagination of scientists and space enthusiasts alike as humanity explores the possibilities of reaching and even colonizing the Red Planet.

Is mars the biggest 2nd biggest 3rd biggest planet in the solar system?

Asked by Wiki User

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system, so it's not the biggest, second biggest, or third biggest planet. The biggest planet is Jupiter, followed by Saturn (second biggest), and then Uranus and Neptune (third and fourth biggest respectively), before we get to Mars.

3rd biggest planet?

Asked by Wiki User

The third biggest planet in our solar system is Uranus, after Jupiter and Saturn.

Is Mars a desert?

Asked by Wiki User

No it is not a desert. It is actually the oxygen and radiation that causes the surface and atmosphere to turn red. Basically Mars is a dead planet.

Does mars rotate faster than the earth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, It does. Considering Newtonian physics and assuming circular orbit for simple calculations, this is because in order to equalize gravitational pull of Sun which is higher at Mars orbit, the centrifugal force must be adequately higher(and it rises proportionally to square of velocity).

What planet is the only one on which unmanned spacecraft have successfully landed and explored?

Asked by Wiki User

Mars.!!!

However, spacecraft have landed on Venus, but the atmosphere on Venus is such that spacecraft are crushed/collpase. So no exploration has been done on Venus.

Has anyone gone to Mars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. The farthest that any human has been from earth is lunar orbit. When Mars

is as close to earth as it can get, it's about 200 times farther than that.

There is presently no project in progress, no planning, no budget, and no schedule

for a manned mission to Mars.

What is closer the Moon or Mars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am not an expert on this. It would seem, though, that Mars would be by far a more difficult mission, even if the only difference is the far greater duration of the trip out and the trip back. We would have to design and build systems that could sustain the crew, propel the craft, and get them back safely. More time means an increased risk of system failures of one kind or another. More food, water and fuel would have to be stored, along with flawless atmosphere controls. There would probably also be more difficulty in landing a craft on Mars, given stronger gravity and different possible atmospheric conditions. Wouldn't it make more sense to send unmanned missions with more and more developed science on board than to send a crew? We will certainly get to Mars one day, and we may even colonize it. Making good use of the moon, while less exciting and inspirational than a Mars mission, seems to me to make MUCH more sense. For example, a sophisticated base on the moon would make a significantly more sensible platform from which to launch missions to Mars and beyond. Much larger payloads could be delivered; it would be much more efficient in the long haul.

Are there tornadoes dust storms on Mars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, there is no evidence of any wind on Mercury, as Mercury's atmosphere is practically a vacuum, therefore it is impossible to have any air currents, and as air currents are the cause of wind, it is not really the best place to try to fly a kite.

yes of course after the sun has engulfed the earth. mars will be the new mercury in charge. and also when the sun is gone the surviving planets will be a white dwarf and freeze and die like mercury venus earth and the sun

They share in common that they are both planets orbiting the same star.

Why can't you live on the surface of Mars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can't live on the surface of Mars without appropriate life support systems because Mars lacks a breathable atmosphere, adequate temperatures, and protection from harmful radiation. The thin atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide and does not provide sufficient oxygen for humans. The average surface temperature is extremely cold, ranging from -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees Celsius) to -195 degrees Fahrenheit (-125 degrees Celsius). Additionally, the planet does not have a global magnetic field, making it more vulnerable to solar radiation.

Is there any water on Mar's moons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, there is no evidence of water on Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos. These moons are small and composed mainly of rock and dust. They lack the necessary conditions, such as an atmosphere or significant gravitational pull, to support liquid water.

Why could a person jump farther on Mars than on Earth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A person could jump farther on Mars than on Earth due to the lower gravity on Mars. Mars has about one-third of Earth's gravity, which means there is less gravitational force pulling the person back down. This allows them to achieve greater height and distance when jumping.

What did the phoenix mars discover?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Phoenix Mars lander discovered evidence of water ice near the surface of Mars in the form of subsurface ice. It also found chemical elements and compounds necessary for supporting life, such as perchlorate salts and water vapor. Additionally, the lander detected snowfall and measured the mild alkaline nature of the Martian soil.

It took Milo and Myron 330 hours to fly their saucer from Mars to Earth Milo piloted the saucer 21 times longer than Myron How long did Myron fly the ship?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To find out how long Myron flew the ship, we need to divide the total flying time (330 hours) by the sum of Milo's and Myron's flying time. Given that Milo flew 21 times longer, we can represent the time Myron flew as x and set up the equation: Milo's flying time = 21x. Since Milo's flying time is the sum of their flying times, we have 21x + x = 330. Simplifying the equation, we get 22x = 330, and solving for x, we find that Myron flew the ship for 15 hours.
