The regular rising and falling of ocean water due to the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon is called?

That is called "tides".

__________________________

Sort of. The Moon doesn't really orbit the Earth. Rather, the Earth and the Moon BOTH orbit the "common center of mass" of the Earth/Moon system. That common center of mass is inside the Earth, but not AT the center of the Earth. (If the common center of mass or 'center of gravity' were outside the Earth and somewhere in between the Earth and the Moon, then technically the Moon wouldn't be a "moon"; it would be a co-planet with Earth.)

Tides are actually caused by the fact that the water on the far side of the Earth and the water on the near side of the Earth (with respect to the Moon) are technically in the "wrong" orbits around the Moon. Remember, gravity goes both ways! The water on the far side of the Earth is orbiting too fast and should move into a higher orbit; the water on the near side is orbiting too slowly and should fall into a lower orbit, from the perspective of the Moon. Because the Earth's gravity is much stronger than the Moon's gravity, the effects are actually quite small.

What is needed needed for survival of mars?

I'm glad you asked my friend.

Mars would need much more attributes than what it is gratefully bestowed with now. For example, it would need a clearer atmosphere.

Number 2: If you have a question, I strongly recommend you inquire about your topic with a learned adult of that specific field.

How much food does a humen need to eat on a trip to mars?

The question is moot. The conditions on Pluto make it impossible for any human to survive using current technology, plus, depending on your age, you may have passed away by the time you get there.

What size is mars compared to earth in a fraction?

Mars is about 53% the size of Earth. This means that if you were to represent the size of Mars compared to Earth as a fraction, it would be 0.53/1.

How much air pressure does Mars have?

Approximately 0,6% of Earth normal, about 6,36 millibars (600 pascals)

It is however 20 times thiner on top of the Mont Olympus (30 pascals), and practically 2 times thicker in the depths of Hellas Planitia (1155 pascals).

The higher pressure areas, if combined with temperatures ranging from 0,1° C to 10° C, would be compatible with the presence of stable liquid water.

How many moons does Mars have and why?

Two natural satellites of Mars have been discovered, and have been named "Phobos" and "Deimos". They are relatively small bodies, even for satellites.

As far as the motives for their creation and placement are concerned, you'd have to ask the responsible party.

What do you know at this time about the existence of water on mars?

Radar data from Mars Express and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed the presence of large quantities of water ice both at the poles (July 2005) and at mid-latitudes (November 2008). The Phoenix Mars Lander directly sampled water ice in shallow martian soil on July 31, 2008.

1year on mars is how many earth days?

One year on Mars is approximately 687 Earth days. This is because Mars takes longer to orbit around the sun compared to Earth.

How does the Grand Canyon compare to Valles Marineris?

The Grand Canyon is a canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, USA, while Valles Marineris is a system of canyons on Mars that is much larger than the Grand Canyon. Valles Marineris is about 4,000 km long, up to 200 km wide, and up to 7 km deep, making it one of the largest canyons in the solar system.

What is mar's largest polar cap?

Mars' largest polar cap is the northern polar cap, known as the North Polar Ice Cap. It is made up of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, covering an area roughly equivalent to the size of Greenland on Earth.

What is the planet mars also called?

Mars is sometimes referred to as the "Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance in the night sky.

How does diamond get its color?

A diamond is made of the element carbon and is extremely dense. The covalent bonds that link each carbon chain cause this density.

Because a diamond is so dense, the light that hits it is actually slowed down. This phenomenon, along with the refraction inducing every color in the rainbow, allows one to see a diamond "sparkle" from long distances.

How far is earth from mars in earth units?

The average distance between Earth and Mars is about 225 million kilometers, or 1.52 astronomical units. The distance varies due to the elliptical orbits of both planets.

The atmosphere on mars is composed mostly of what?

Mars has a thin atmosphere, mainly of Carbon Dioxide (95.32%). Nitrogen makes up 2.7%, Argon 1.6%, Oxygen 0.13% and Carbon Monoxide makes up around 0.08%.

What is the minimum distance from Earth to Mars?

The minimum distance between Earth and Mars is about 33.9 million miles (54.6 million kilometers) when the two planets are at opposition, which means they are on the opposite sides of the sun in their orbits. However, the actual distance can vary depending on their positions in their respective orbits.

What color represent curiosity?

Purple is often associated with curiosity as it is a color that sparks creativity, imagination, and a sense of wonder. Additionally, yellow can also represent curiosity as it is a bright and vibrant color that symbolizes energy and positivity.

Is earth or Mars lighter?

Mars is much less massive that the Earth; its mass is about a tenth that of Earth, or abut 8.6 times as much as our Moon. Mars also has a lower average density than the Earth, partly because it it has more rock and less metal in comparison to the Earth, and partially because its weaker gravity has resulted in less compression of its interior.

What is the smallest volcano on Mars called?

it is called mutan dynamic minature , or so i heard, research to mars.com or volcanos on google and you can find out, because some stuff is made up. Hope it was helpful ;)

How are earth and Mars moons similar?

Both Earth and Mars have moons that are believed to have been formed through the process of accretion around their respective planets. Both Earth's Moon and Mars' moons (Phobos and Deimos) are irregularly shaped and have similar surface compositions, predominantly made up of rock and dust. Additionally, all three moons have surface features like craters and some evidence of past volcanic activity.

What would you need to travel to mars?

well you need a space suit and a pressure bag. landing on it would be like on the moon exsept the gravity on mars is low so you would just about float on it not off it because the pressure is keeping you in place so its like the moon.also there are water rivers off about 3 million years ago still in shape but the water just leaves a stain in a vally the water gets exstininc because of the atmousphere and comets hiting the water vallies luckliy.if you took your space helmate off while breathed out suddenly less than 1 second your lungs just turn into a burst balloon wen it pops the pressure is 16 times more stronger than earth and the moon because your adapted to earth the gravity the oxigen not one plant or human could suiving in the dead black gassesness off space. the gas comes from planets galaxys and stars and gets dragged into the planets atmosphere. any way that's why we call Jupiter a gas planet because of 4 million gas tipes in the air in it comes from other planets n stars. the after the lugs your veins blue and red ones boil like a kettel they become very very hott and boils yr blood olny if your facein the sun because of the light if you gone underground in mars build a hole like a vault and took yr helemate space suit off you would freeze yr veins and flesh would turn in to your chicken dinner in a fridge. hope its helped and we could plant plants on mars we could suck earths air in a inserinterinter vacum bag and open it up in mars so oxygen and carbon dioxside could make you your self take your space suit off but the planet mars has to get used to having a new gas on it and plants will eventilly be exposed to open oxgen air{i know i have spelt things from because my PC keeps crashing} thanks hope i heleped

Are there marsions?

Currently, there is no scientific evidence or confirmation of any life forms, including "Marsions," existing on Mars. The search for traces of past life on Mars is ongoing through various missions and investigations, but as of now, there is no definitive proof of life on the planet.

Is there air on planet Mars?

Yes, Mars does have a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, as well as small amounts of other gases like nitrogen and argon. However, the atmosphere is much thinner than Earth's and is not breathable for humans.

Is mars the close to the sun?

No, Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. It is preceded by Mercury, Venus, and Earth, making it closer to the Sun than the Earth but still farther away compared to Mercury and Venus.
