Why do you think Mars does not have liquid water on its surface today?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius at 1 bar of air pressure, and the boiling point decreases as one gets higher (and the pressure is lower). On mars the air pressure is 7-9% that of the Earth's, meaning that if you melt ice it would immediately turn to water vapor.
How does the force due to gravity on Mars compare to the force due to gravity on Earth?
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s2. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 on average. The force that gravity would exert on an object is dependent on its mass.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is often referred to as the "Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance. It has a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide and has surface features such as volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps. Mars is a focus of exploration for scientists looking for evidence of past life and potential for future human colonization.
Who is the mother of prince Phobos?
Elyon and Phobos' mother appears several times in the comic, but I'm pretty sure her name has never been mentioned. She introduces herself to Elyon simply as her mother.
Does the planet mars have storms?
Because the air on Mars is so thin, it's possible to get tremendously fast winds there, which kicks up enormous dust storms. When the first Viking Lander was scheduled to land on Mars, on July 4, 1976 (just in time for the Bicentennial of the US), a planet-wide dust storm had completely obscured the planet, and the landing had to be postponed for 2 weeks. The Viking Lander actually landed on July 20, 1976, the anniversary of the first Apollo landing on the Moon.
How many Mars days are in one Mars year?
There are 668.5991 sols (Martian days) in one Mars year, also known as the Martian solar day.
Why do scientist hypothesize that Mars may once have had the conditions needed for life to exist?
life to exist there
Why is Mars the most obvious place to look for living things like those on Earth?
Mars isn't the most obvious place to look for life. It's the easiest. Since Venus is far too hot and can't possibly contain life, researchers have tried Mars. Mars is supposedly the Earth's twin planet. Because of the deep dried out riverbeds seen on Mars' surface and the ice on the poles, it seemed very likely that life was possible on Mars.
What dose planet mars look like?
Mars is known as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance, caused by iron oxide (rust) in its soil. It has a rocky and barren surface with mountains, valleys, and vast deserts. The planet also has polar ice caps made of frozen water and carbon dioxide.
Why would you have to be on mars for at least 18 months at a time?
A person would need to be on the planet Mars for at least 18 months before they could return home because of the launch window. It would take about 8 months to reach the planet and then another 18 months on the planet until the next launch window to open.
What is Mars' AU compared to Earth?
If I may interpret your question: 1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the sun to Earth = roughly 93,000,000 miles. The average Mars-Sun distance is about 1.52 AU, so Mars is 1.52 X 93,000,000 = 141,360,000 miles from the sun.
On Mars would you float choke or be squashed?
On Mars, you would not float like you would in space due to its gravity being about 38% that of Earth's. However, you would feel lighter and experience reduced weight compared to Earth, so you might feel like jumping higher and taking longer strides. You would not be squashed like on a high-gravity planet, but you would not choke either as there is atmosphere to breathe, although it is very thin compared to Earth's.
What makes Mars a special planet?
This is quite a difficult (and ambiguous) question to answer.
Let's start with the example of dwarf planet Pluto, approximately 1/5 the size of Earth. It is obviously not a planet because it is too small (as stated by its category, "dwarf planet"). We all know that it used to be a planet but was excluded due to its size.
We can therefore conclude that Mars, about 2/3 the size of Earth, is an existing planet simply because it met the size requirements; and the fact that it is neither a moon belonging to another planet (which can be distinguished by its orbit*), nor a star (distinguished by criteria of a star that it doesn't meet**).
* A planet orbits the Sun, but a moon orbits the planet it belongs to.
** Stars do not orbit, but Mars does. Also, stars have a special life cycle that Mars does not follow. And as well as this, Mars does not twinkle, blow up or behave like a star.
Mars nickname is "Red Planet", it is nicknamed this way because it looks red and the sand is also red. Dughhh!
Humans will likely get to Mars using spacecraft and rockets, either through government-led missions like NASA's Artemis program or through private companies like SpaceX. The journey to Mars will involve a combination of crewed spacecraft, supply missions, and advanced life support systems to ensure the safety and well-being of astronauts during the long journey and stay on the Red Planet. Numerous technical and logistical challenges will need to be overcome before humans can safely and sustainably travel to and live on Mars.
If cars can fly how long would it take to get to mars?
Just like any other trip, the time it takes depends on how long the trip is,
what route you take, and how fast you travel.
-- At different times of year and in different years, the straight-line distance between
the Earth and Mars can be anywhere from 35.4 million to 247.9 million miles.
Let's say you make the trip when they're as close together as they can ever be
-- Real spacecraft never travel in straight lines, but let's say you could ... so you only
have to drive 35.4 million miles.
-- If there's no traffic and you drive at the speed of light, it only takes you
a little over 3 minutes to get to Mars.
-- If you hold it down and only drive 1 million miles per hour, then it takes you
35.4 hours ... about a day and a half.
-- If your passenger in the front seat is afraid of high speeds and won't let you drive
more than a thousand miles an hour, it takes you about 4 years to get there.
-- If Mars is halfway around its orbit, 247.9 million miles from us on the other side
of the sun, and you head over there at normal highway speed of 80 miles per hour,
then you have to allow about 353 years for the trip ... going straight as an arrow,
straight through the sun, not around it.
How many Jupiter's can fit into Mars?
The volume of Jupiter is 1,321.3 times that of the Earth
The volume of Mars is 0.151 times that of the Earth
So: 1321.3/0.151 = 8750.33
Mars fits 8750.33 times inside Jupiter.
How long does it take mars to go around the sun in hours?
It takes Mars approximately 1.88 Earth years to orbit the sun once. This is equal to about 17,569 hours.
What is the gravitational field strength of Mars?
The gravitational field strength on Mars is about 3.7 m/s^2, which is about 38% of the gravitational field strength on Earth. This means that objects on Mars weigh less than they do on Earth due to the weaker gravity.
What is Mars position from the sun?
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, after Mercury, Venus, Earth, then Mars, followed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, (Pluto, no longer a planet). A good rhyme to remember the order is " My Very Eager Mother Just Serve Us Noodle."
What equipment will be needed to go to mars?
Equipment needed for a mission to Mars includes a spacecraft capable of carrying crew and supplies, life support systems, radiation protection, spacesuits for extravehicular activities, communication systems, propulsion systems for travel, landing systems for touchdown on Mars, and scientific instruments for research. Additional resources such as food, water, and oxygen will also be required for the duration of the mission.
How does Mars temperature compare to Earth's temperature?
Mars is, on the whole, far colder than the Earth, for a couple of reasons. First off, it's farther from the Sun. Secondly, and probably most importantly, Mars has no atmosphere to speak of. The lack of an atmospheric "blanket" means that Mars is unable to retain any heat energy that does get to it from the Sun.
When was the planet Mars discovered in what year?
The planet Mars has been known since ancient times and was observed by early astronomers like the Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks. Its discovery is not credited to a single individual or year as it has always been visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
What are the similarities among uranus neptune and pluto?
Uranus Neptune and Pluto have the following similarities:
Yes, you would weigh less on Mars compared to Earth due to its lower gravity, so you could potentially appear to "float" in the air if you jumped or moved in a similar way to how we experience weightlessness on Earth. However, you would not be able to float in the same way as you would in space due to Mars' thin atmosphere.
