How warm can Mars get?

Mars can reach temperatures of up to about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) near the equator during the day, but temperatures can drop significantly at night to around -100 degrees Fahrenheit (-73 degrees Celsius) due to its thin atmosphere and lack of heat-retaining properties.

What countries were involved in the creation and launch of the Mars Rovers spirit and Opportunity other than the US?

Canada was involved in the creation of the robotic arm used on the Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Spain, France, Germany, and Italy also contributed components to the Mars Rovers through the European Space Agency's involvement in the mission.

How many earth years is in Mars?

One Mars year, or the time it takes for Mars to orbit the sun, is equal to about 1.88 Earth years. This is because Mars takes longer to complete one orbit around the sun due to its greater distance from the sun compared to Earth.

Would the mass of an elephant on the moon be less than its mass on mars?

No. Mass never changes. But, you are probably thinking about weight. Weight is the measure of how much gravity is acting on an object. Weight is a force acting on an object, due to gravity. Mass is a property of matter. Mass is measured in kilograms/grams so on.

Often somebody will say that something "weighs 20 kilograms", though. This is a common thought, that the terms are interchangeable. Pounds originated as a force unit, but now there is a pound-mass unit that is in use. Your bathroom scale may display pounds or kilograms, for example. We think of this as weight. Most actually measure the amount of force (through springs or electronic pressure sensors). And if you went to the moon, less stepped on the same scale, the reading would be less, because gravity is less, there. But you still have the same amount of mass.

Suppose you "weigh" 60 kilograms, on Earth. And you acquire some weights that add up to 60 kg. If you get a balance, like a see-saw and put the weights on one end, and you sit on the other, it will balance. If you go to the moon and perform the same experiment, they will still balance.

What does mars really look like?

Mars is a dry and rocky planet with a thin atmosphere that appears red due to iron oxide (rust) on its surface. It has tall mountains, deep valleys, and vast plains, and its surface is often wind-swept and covered in dust. The landscape is punctuated by impact craters and evidence of ancient water features.

What is mars average high temperature?

The average temperature on Mars is −67 degrees Fahrenheit. At its equator at noon, the high temperature on Mars is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mars major surface features?

Some major surface features on Mars include vast volcanoes like Olympus Mons, deep canyons like Valles Marineris, and large impact basins like Hellas Planitia. These features point to a dynamic geological history on the planet.

Is Mars gassy or rocky?

mars is like a mars bar that's where i get my mars bars and i seen an alien make a mars bar that's why rocket ships go up into space to coolect the mars bars thank you for reading

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Rocky for everyone who wanted a proper answer :)

The surface of the planet mars?

The surface of Mars is rocky and covered with red dust due to iron oxide. It is also home to features such as volcanoes, valleys, and impact craters. Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, and the deepest canyon, Valles Marineris.

What is average temperature and summer and winter temperature of mars?

The average temperature on Mars is about -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 degrees Celsius). In the summer, temperatures can rise to around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) near the equator, while in winter, temperatures can drop to as low as -195 degrees Fahrenheit (-125 degrees Celsius) at the poles.

How did all the ice on Mars get under the surface?

The ice on Mars likely got buried under the surface due to a combination of mechanisms such as impact cratering, dust accumulation, and volcanic activity. These processes would have covered the ice over time and preserved it below the surface.

Why do people believe aliens live on Mars?

There are many romantic reasons for people to want to believe in the idea of life on Mars.

From the earliest telescopic observations of the Red Planet, it was clear that there were lines of some kind on Mars. Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli called them "canali", which means "channels", but the popular press of the day mistranslated this as "canals". The presence of a canal implied the presence of canal builders, and the early "pulp" science fiction stories soon had Mars populated with a race of mighty warriors; read, for example, the "Barsoom" stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs for an example of the genre. In 1898, the novelist H. G. Wells wrote the book "War of the Worlds", the story of an attack on Earth by aliens. In 1938, Orson Wells (no relation) dramatized a radio play of the story. The descriptions of the events so frightened thousands of people that they fled their homes and prepared to repel the Martian attack!

There are other examples, but when the stories of a fictional Martian race are as good as these, many people prefer not to believe the mundane facts that Mars is a dead planet, and that if any advanced race ever existed there, it is long gone.

Can you take a little oxygen form earth put it on a mars colony and increase the atmosphere?

The most expensive and difficult part of space travel is getting into orbit around the Earth. Once you are in Earth orbit, you are over half-way there - no matter where "there" is!

The suggestion of taking some of Earth's oxygen and transporting it to Mars has a number of difficulties. The cost of the oxygen would be negligible compared to the cost of rocket fuel to get it into orbit, and the cost of the rocket fuel to get the oxygen - and the containers to carry so much of it - would doom the project. Fortunately, there is plenty of oxygen on Mars already.

The red dirt of Mars seems to be substantially "rust"; iron oxide. Martian colonists will probably build solar power plants on Mars to generate electricity, and use the electricity to process the iron oxide in Mars' red dirt into iron that can be used for machines and colony buildings, and oxygen to give the colonists the air they will breathe.

There is even more oxygen that's already in space, even though it is a little further away. Astronomers believe that a substantial part of the rings of Saturn may be in the form of water ice. If so, it would be possible to bring the ice from Saturn's rings to Mars more cheaply than trying to lift water from the surface of the Earth to orbit.

Does March come from Mars?

Yes, the name "March" is derived from the Roman god of war, Mars. In the Roman calendar, March was the first month of the year and was considered a month of military campaigns and agricultural activities.

Why Mars' atmosphere is so thin?

It may have gradually lost its atmosphere to the solar winds or a body or bodies that collided with mars

Is Mars heavy or light?

Mars weighs roughly 6.4191×1023 kilograms, which is lot compared to you. However, it is also 0.107 times the mass of the Earth, which is very little, relatively speaking.

Which was the first probe to land on Mars?

The first successful objects to land on the surface of Mars were two Soviet probes, Mars 2 and Mars 3 from the Mars probe program, launched in 1971, but both lost contact within seconds of landing.

Then came the 1975 NASA launches of the Viking program, which consisted of two orbiters, each having a lander; both landers successfully touched down in 1976. Viking 1 remained operational for six years, Viking 2 for three. The Viking landers relayed the first color pictures of Mars and also mapped the surface of Mars so well that the images are still sometimes used to this day.
