Planet Mars

To make lunar lava from the Play Set Martian Matter, follow the instructions included in the set. Typically, you would mix the provided ingredients according to the recipe and use the molds to create the desired shapes. Once the lava has hardened, you can play with it as instructed.

Much thicker, almost certainly at least as thick as the diameter of the earth. Its pressure is much higher as well due to the high mass of the planet and its atmosphere and the strong gravity.

currently we do have the technology to go there it would take roughly 6 months to get there and 6 months to get back. the main issue really is money with alot of the major space exploration nations suffering some what of an economic down turn there is less motivation to go there. there has been talks of sending a manned mission to mars that is one way, this being that the person going would not come back. this is because it would be far cheaper, but there is obviously a massive ethical issue with this idea. in reality we are probably looking at atleast 15-20yrs before a real# manned flight to mars will happen.

If there was life on Mars, it might be microbial rather than advanced. Due to the harsh conditions on Mars such as low temperatures and high radiation levels, any potential life forms would likely be adapted to extreme environments. These potential Martian life forms may exist underground or in areas with liquid water.

The Viking 1 and Viking 2 spacecraft took pictures of Mars in 1976 as part of NASA's Viking program. These missions were the first to successfully land and operate on the surface of Mars, providing valuable data and images of the planet.

Mars rocks are primarily made of basalt, which is a volcanic rock formed from solidified lava. They also contain minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and feldspar. The red color of Mars rocks is due to the presence of iron oxide, or rust.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all gas giants, composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. They have ring systems and a large number of moons. They are also located in the outer region of the solar system, beyond the asteroid belt.

Asaph Hall first discovered Mars' two moons, Phobos and Deimos, in 1877 at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington D.C. He used the Observatory's 26-inch refracting telescope to make the historic observation.

When Mars is as close to Earth as it can possibly be, and if it were possible to travel

in a straight line all the way there, the trip would take you about 72 million kilometers.

The distance would not depend on your speed.

The Mars Rover is powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG), which uses the heat produced by the radioactive decay of plutonium-238 to generate electricity. This allows the rover to operate in the harsh environment of Mars where solar power may not be reliable.

No, the atmospheres of Mars and Earth are quite different. Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, while Mars has a thin atmosphere primarily made up of carbon dioxide with trace amounts of other gases. Mars also has much lower atmospheric pressure than Earth.

There is not a planet between Mars and Jupiter that I know! There should be a Dwarf planet if not no planet!

An early astronomer and mathematician, Johann Elert Bode, observed a mathematical relationship between the orbital distances of the planets. The formula works creepily well for Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. "Bode's Law" indicates that there ought to be a planet between Mars and Jupiter, where there is none. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus fall just where Bode's Law predicted, but Neptune and Pluto are way out of place.

When the asteroid Ceres was discovered, it was almost precisely where Bode's Law predicted, and with the discovery of all the other asteroids some people figured that Ceres must be the largest fragment of a destroyed planet that USED to be there. A number of science fiction novels are set on that destroyed planet!

Bode's Law turns out to have no real significance, being only a numerological trick.

This distance is continuously varying as the two planets orbit the Sun.

The minimum distance is about 0.5 au.

That's because the (average) distance of Earth from the Sun is 1 au and

the (average) distance of Mars from the Sun is 1.52 au.

Depends on the dog! A great dane would still be heavy even on the Moon, while a "minpin" would be even lighter than here on Earth.

Because of the Moon's smaller size and lower density, the force of gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth.

Mars is often called the Red Planet because of its reddish appearance, which is due to iron oxide (rust) present on its surface. This gives the planet a distinctive reddish hue when viewed from Earth.

There is a finder for telescopes called the Giant Mars Eye finder. It attaches to the side of the telescope. One looks through it and sees concentric circles projected onto the sky. When aligned with the telescope, what is in the middle of the circle will be in the eyepiece of the telescope.

This particular finder is no longer available.

Mars and Venus are the other two planets in the solar system known to have had active volcanoes. Both planets have evidence of volcanic activity in the past, with Mars showing recent signs of volcanic eruptions.

"Burst with curiosity" means to be completely consumed or overwhelmed with a strong desire to learn, explore, or understand something. It describes a feeling of intense inquisitiveness or eagerness to know more.

Volcanoes on Mars provide valuable information about the planet's geologic history, including its crust composition, past volcanic activity, and potential internal processes. By studying Martian volcanoes, scientists can gain insights into the planet's tectonic activity, magma composition, and overall evolution. Volcanic features also help researchers understand how Mars' surface has changed over time and the potential for past or current habitable environments.

The first successful mission to send a satellite to Mars was the Mariner 4 mission in 1964, which conducted a flyby of the planet. Subsequent missions like the Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and MAVEN have all sent satellites to orbit or study Mars.

Both scenarios would be dangerous on Mars. Without proper technology and equipment, humans would not survive the extreme cold temperatures and lack of atmosphere to retain heat. Similarly, without protection from the thin atmosphere and high levels of radiation, exposure to direct sunlight could also be harmful.

Mars has a thin atmosphere that cannot retain heat well, leading to significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. During the day, the thin atmosphere allows heat to penetrate the surface, increasing temperatures. At night, the lack of atmosphere means there is no insulation to retain the heat, causing temperatures to drop quickly.
