Planet Mars

I've heard that on Mars, a person's apparent weight would be about one-third of their weight on Earth. So a 180-lbs man would feel as though they are only 60-lbs. Or a 90kg man would feel like they weighed only 30kg.

On the Moon, this is even less, at one-sixth that of Earth. So the 180lbs man would feel like they weighed 30lbs. The 90kg person would feel like they weighed 15kg.

A week is defined as a period of 7 days.

So a Mar's week is also seven days.

Curiously a day on Mars is only 24.622 Earth hours

Yes, but not LIQUID water. In many cases, it's possible to detect things that are underground by radar, and by the type of return signal, figure out what kind of thing the radar pulse hit. Scientists controlling the Mars Surveyor satellite have bounced radar beams off of the north polar regions of Mars, and the return signal indicates that at least some water ice is buried a few centimeters underground.

Yes, Mars has lava plains similar to those found on Earth's moon. The largest volcano on Mars, Olympus Mons, is believed to have been formed by extensive lava flows. These lava plains contribute to Mars' diverse surface features.

Mars' surface is rocky and covered in dust and sand. It has vast deserts, huge volcano remnants, deep canyons, and polar ice caps. The surface is also marked by impact craters from asteroids and meteoroids.

Yes, water is present on Mars in the form of ice. There are polar ice caps on Mars that consist of water ice and observations suggest the presence of subsurface water ice as well. Additionally, liquid water may exist temporarily in some regions on the surface.

The soil nutrients may be able to support life, but life would still have to be shielded from the intense ultraviolet light

The two planets that are the closest to Mars is Earth and Jupiter.

Mars discovery can be traced back to ancient civilizations who observed it in the night sky. However, as a scientific study, Mars discovery is credited to Galileo Galilei who observed it through a telescope in the early 17th century.

The average recorded temperature on Mars is -81° F with a maximum temperature of 68° F and a minimum of -220° F.

It takes about 3-22 minutes for sunlight to travel from Earth to Mars, depending on the distance between the two planets. Mars is on average about 225 million kilometers away from Earth, but the distance can vary due to the elliptical orbits of the planets.

True. The water table is the level below the Earth's surface that is saturated with water and represents the upper surface of the groundwater in an area. It is mostly found underground and fluctuates depending on factors such as precipitation and seasonality.

Mars does not have lava, but probably has magma due to radioactive decay.

Living on Mars would be extremely challenging due to the lack of atmosphere, extreme cold, high levels of radiation, and lack of liquid water. You would need a fully self-sustaining habitat to survive, with systems for air, water, food, and waste management. The harsh conditions would require constant monitoring and maintenance to ensure survival.

The weather on Mars is extremely cold with average temperatures around -80 degrees Fahrenheit. The atmosphere is thin and mostly composed of carbon dioxide, so it lacks the conditions necessary for traditional weather patterns like rain or clouds.

Scientist have found what looks to be a place were there was once water so there is a big possibility.

Quartz is a common mineral found on Earth that is also found on the moon and Mars. It is a hard and durable mineral that can withstand environmental conditions found on both celestial bodies.

Mars has a very cold climate with temperatures reaching as low as -195°F (-125°C) in some regions. However, temperatures can vary depending on the location and time of year. Overall, Mars is predominantly a cold planet.

Humans have not set foot on mars, however, I believe they have sent several robot rovers.

Among other unmanned craft sent to Mars, the "Viking" rover landed on Mars and did some basic experiments in about 1976 or 1977.

A Martian winter typically lasts for about six months, as the planet takes approximately 687 days to orbit the Sun. During this extended winter period, temperatures on Mars can plummet to extreme lows, especially in the polar regions.

The current US Mars probe is called Perseverance. It landed on Mars in February 2021 with the primary goal of searching for signs of past microbial life and collecting samples for future return to Earth.

You would weigh less on Mars compared to Earth due to Mars' lower gravity. The gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth, so a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.

If you went to Mars, well, you would be freezing. You would float really high because the gravity level is so low. It would look weird because of the dried up rivers that were there billions of years ago. You would never under any circumstance take of your helmet because after 1 second your lungs would pop and you would die. There is a lot of research you can do because NASA is so interested in this planet. I have been able to find many places about information,(Answers.com being one). They have lots of information on Bing,Google, and Askjeevs.com. That was a very interesting question that you asked and I'm glad that I could help you answer this question.

Bringing Earth life to Mars could contaminate the planet and complicate our ability to search for native life. Introducing Earth organisms to Mars could also disrupt the Martian ecosystem, which we are still striving to understand. Therefore, strict protocols are in place to prevent forward contamination.
