Planet Mars

Hi there.

I am not sure whether it has rained on mars before, but scientists have discoved some ice on mars before, which means there is water somewhere. But whether it has actually rained before... I don't think so... or else, why would there be ICE on the GROUND?

Think of it like you were standing next to a fire. The closer you are to the fire the more warmth you feel. Once you start taking steps back from the fire the less heat you feel. Same concept with the planets.

An astronomer could use rovers, such as NASA's Curiosity or Perseverance, to explore the surface of Mars. These rovers are equipped with various instruments, cameras, and sensors to analyze the terrain, collect samples, and gather data for scientific research. Additionally, astronomers can also utilize orbiters and landers to study Mars from a distance or conduct experiments on its surface.

Mars offers scientific insights into planetary formation and potential habitability. Additionally, it presents opportunities for technological advancements, colonization prospects, and potential future resource utilization. Exploring Mars provides a platform for international cooperation and pushes the boundaries of human exploration.

One year on Mars is equivalent to about 687 Earth days.

No. Mars is a planet, not a star. The closest star to Earth is the sun.

The dominant atmospheric gas on Mars is carbon dioxide (CO2), making up about 95% of the planet's atmosphere.

It is currently not possible for a human to survive on Mars without protective gear and specialized systems due to its extreme cold temperatures, thin atmosphere, lack of oxygen, and high levels of radiation. Future colonization efforts would require advanced technology to support human life.

The average temperature on Mars is around -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 degrees Celsius). However, temperatures can vary widely, ranging from as low as -195 degrees Fahrenheit (-125 degrees Celsius) to as high as 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) near the equator during the day.

Yes, the thin atmosphere of Mars is composed mostly of carbon dioxide (about 95.3%), along with smaller amounts of nitrogen, argon, and traces of oxygen and water vapor. The low atmospheric pressure on Mars is due to its thin atmosphere.

The sky on Mars is a butterscotch color during the day due to the planet's dust particles in the atmosphere. At sunset, the sky can turn a bluish hue. Due to Mars' thin atmosphere, the sky appears pinkish-red when viewed from the surface.

Mariner 11 never sent radio pictures from Mars because it was not a mission that existed. The Mariner program had missions up to Mariner 10, which sent back images of Venus and Mercury.

The day lengths are very similar.

Earth has a 24 hour day. This is the"solar day". Earth spins once in about 4 minutes less time than the solar day and that's called the sidereal day.

Mars spins once in about 24 hours 37 minutes.

The solar day on Mars is about 2 minutes longer.

Mars is the second smallest with a diameter of 6792km (this is assuming that the dwarf planet Pluto, which has a diameter of 2390km, is not considered; if it is considered, then Mars would be the third smallest). Mercury is the smallest, with a diameter of 4879km.

Mercury: 88 days Venus: 225 days Earth: 365 days Mars: 687 days Jupiter: 4,332 days Saturn: 10,759 days Uranus: 30,687 days Neptune: 60,190 days

Well there are probably a few answers for this question. One reason is the temperature on Mars. The temperature on Mars can reach -184˚F on long polar nights which, needless to say, is far to cold for any human being. The mean temperature on mArs is -51˚F. Also, there is oxygen on Mars just not enough to sustain life, but when getting oxygen from Earth it would never run out unless of course all plant life died. If we just established a structure on Mars that is suitable for life than you can create oxygen. Just sayin'. But we can't live on Mars currently because Mars has no magnetic field to protect us from cosmic radiation, much less atmospheric pressure than here on Earth meaning if we stepped outside of the human structure on Mars we would need a space suit because our body would swell up. Just like how we can't live in water, not enough oxygen and if you go deep enough theres too much pressure and you would die.

Deimos is pronounced "DAY-mohs" with the emphasis on the first syllable.

That is the planet Jupiter. The black spot was created recently when a asteroid collided with it. Jupiter has a Great Red Spot created through storms. No planet has a black spot

no mars has a giant red spot and mercury has the black spot

A Martian sunset is a phenomenon on Mars where the sun sets below the horizon, creating a reddish-orange glow in the sky due to the scattering of light by Martian dust particles. The thin atmosphere on Mars allows for unique and vibrant sunset colors compared to those on Earth.

Mars does not experience seasons in the same way as Earth due to its axial tilt and orbit. However, the planet's thin atmosphere does create variations in temperature and weather patterns throughout the year.

Pathfinders is a Youth ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist church, you go to camps you get honors you go to different states for fun and you sometime hand out magazines that spread the gospel, it prepares God's children for the heaven, im' a pathfinder it's realy fun we have pathfinder day when other pathfinders go to our church and we do a program i meet guyz guyz meet girls (hint hint) lol, and we go to oshkosh every four yearz that's when pathfinders all over the world come its the same as the ignaguration its a camp thing.

Another answer:

Pathfinders is a youth organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, similar to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Pathfinders is co-educational and there are local groups in most countries of the world.

Some important missions to Mars include the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission, which aims to search for signs of past life and collect samples for return to Earth, and the Emirates Mars Mission by the UAE, which focuses on studying the Martian atmosphere. Additionally, the upcoming Mars Sample Return mission by NASA and ESA will work to bring samples of Martian rock and soil back to Earth for analysis.

These are the 2 brightest stars in the sky. However Canopus is a lot more

luminous because it is much further away.

Canopus is about 310 light years away.

Sirius is only 8.6 light years away.
