Planet Mars

Mars was considered a more viable candidate for exploration due to its similarities to Earth, such as a thin atmosphere and possible presence of water. Venus, on the other hand, has a harsh environment with extreme temperatures and atmospheric pressure that make it much more challenging for human exploration.

About 15 pounds.

Improvement: Mars surface gravity is 38% of Earth's.

So 80 pounds becomes about 30 pounds,roughly.

No, Mars isn't twice the size of the Earth. The equatorial diameter of the Earth is 7,926 mi (12,760 km), while the equatorial diameter of Mars is 4,220 mi (6,792 km). So we can tell that the Earth is twice the size of Mars, not the other way round.

Size is in terms of diameter which is measured as miles and not square miles.

Mars has a diameter of about 4,222 miles whereas Earth has a diameter of 7962 miles .

A space shuttle traveling at its maximum speed of about 17,600 miles per hour would take over 73,000 years to reach the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) located about 4.24 light years away from Earth. This journey is far beyond the capabilities of current space travel technology.

The Curiosity payload carried to Mars by the MSL spacecraftis about twice as long and five times as heavy as the Spiritand Opportunity Mars exploration rover payloads of earlier U.S. Mars missions, and carries over ten times the mass of scientific instruments. The MSL spacecraft that transportedCuriosity to Mars successfully carried out a more accurate landing than previous spacecraft to Mars, aiming for a small target landing ellipse of only 7 by 20 km (4.3 by 12 mi), in the Aeolis Palus region of Gale Crater. In the event, MSL delivered its payload only 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) from the center of the target. This location is near the mountain Aeolis Mons (a.k.a. "Mount Sharp") The rover mission is set to explore for at least 687 Earth days (1 Martian year) over a range of 5 by 20 km (3.1 by 12 mi).NASA anticipates that the rover will function for at least the limit the parts were tested for, which is four years.

The Sojourner Rover was part of the Mars Pathfinder mission and operated on Mars from July 4 to September 27, 1997. Its mission was to analyze the Martian surface and rocks, collect data on the planet's geology, atmosphere, and magnetic field. It stopped communicating with Earth after September 27, 1997, likely due to dust blocking its solar panels and causing a loss of power.

The asteroid that created the North Pole Basin on Mars is estimated to have been around 37 miles (60 kilometers) in diameter. This impact is believed to have occurred around 3.6 billion years ago and played a significant role in shaping the topography of Mars.

Absolutely. It'll take work, and lots of time - but there is no reason that we should not be able to live quite nicely in domed cities on Mars. Making the planet's surface habitable will take much longer, but it can be done!

It is unlikely that a manned mission to Mars will occur by 2023, as it requires significant planning, technology development, and funding. Current estimated timelines suggest it may be closer to the late 2020s or 2030s before a crewed mission to Mars becomes a reality.

The Curiosity rover is primarily made out of aluminum, titanium, and other lightweight materials. It also includes scientific instruments such as cameras, spectrometers, and other tools for analyzing Martian samples. The rover is designed to be durable and withstand the harsh conditions of the Martian environment.

All of Mars is "dry land" (even under the ice caps of frozen water and frozen carbon dioxide), while most of the Earth's surface (71%) is covered by water. So even though Mars has only 28% of Earth's surface area, the amount of dry land is about the same (144.8 million km2 compared to Earth's 144.9 million km2).

The short answer to "why is Mars red" is that the planet is covered in rust. Iron oxide to be exact. The iron oxide is simply a dust that covers the entire surface in varying depths. That dust is picked up by wind and carried into the atmosphere where it reflects the red part of the light spectrum and, viola, Mars is the Red Planet.

Yes, it is possible to see the Milky Way from Mars. However, the view of the Milky Way from Mars may be different compared to Earth due to the thin atmosphere and lack of light pollution on Mars. Astronomers have even captured images of the Milky Way from Mars using rovers such as Curiosity.

You cannot physically go to Mars using Google Maps as it only provides mapping information for Earth. To explore Mars, you can use tools like Google Earth or NASA's Mars Trek, which offer data and imagery of the Martian surface.

The weight of a person on Mars can be calculated using the formula: Weight on Mars = (Mass on Earth * gravity on Mars) / gravity on Earth. Mars's gravity is about 0.38 times that of Earth's. Therefore, a man with a mass of 80kg would weigh approximately 30.4kg on Mars.

Mars has a cold temperature because it is farther from the Sun compared to Earth, which results in less solar heat reaching the planet. Additionally, Mars has a thin atmosphere that is not able to retain heat well, leading to significant temperature fluctuations between day and night.

No, some are in the same orbit as Jupiter, some are in the inner solar system, near and between the orbits of the planets (even though no asteroids were ever discovered inside the orbit of Mercury)

There are even asteroids beyond the orbit of Jupiter.

At Mars, you can study the planet's geology, atmosphere, and search for signs of past life. You can also test new technologies for future space exploration and potentially lay the groundwork for human colonization. Additionally, Mars exploration can help us better understand the history of our solar system.

Unfortunately, at this time itravel does not offer cruise ship vacations packages to Mars. However, with technology improving daily, they expect to gain access to this route soon.

Mars is known as the "red planet" because of its reddish appearance, which comes from iron oxide (rust) on its surface. The iron in the soil reacts with oxygen from the atmosphere, giving Mars its distinctive red color.

As Mars has cooled, its core has solidified and its geodynamo stopped. The loss of Mars' magnetic field allowed more solar energy to reach the surface. That solar radiation heat dissipated the surface water and atmosphere.

Also, because Mars' gravitational field is not as strong as earth's, it was much easier for atoms and molecules at the top of the atmosphere to escape to space. Over millions of years this process led to the loss of most of Mars' atmosphere.

One simple way to remember the order of the planets closest to the Sun is to use a mnemonic device like "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos," with the first letter of each word representing each planet in order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars.
