If you planted a tree on Mars would it survive?

No. The atmosphere of Mars is only 0.146% oxygen and is mostly carbon dioxide. Additionally, the surface pressure on Mars is only about 0.6% what it is on Earth, which means that the oxygen concentration on Mars is about 24,000 times less than it is on Earth at sea level.

What was the name of the first spacecraft to land on mars?

First ever satellite to land on the planet Mars was a Russian probe called Mars 2. Albeit it did not land but crashed. The first successful probe to land on Mars was Mars 3 sent by the Russians, however the probe was operational for 15 minutes after landing on Mars. The first American probe to land on Mars was the Viking 1 on the 20th of July 1976.

What units would be used to describe the surface gravity of Mars?

Same units as are used to describe the surface gravity of the Earth, the moon,

or any other body: Units of acceleration, such as meter/sec2 or feet/sec2 .

Jun 5, 2008 - The gravity on Mars is much lower than it is here on Earth, 62% lower to be more precise. ... A person weighing 100 kg here would tip the scales at 38 kg .

What goals did the rovers on mars accomplish?

The rovers on Mars, such as Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity, have accomplished various goals including examining the Martian surface for signs of water and potential habitability, analyzing geological features, studying soil composition, and searching for evidence of past life on Mars. They have also provided valuable data on the Martian climate and atmosphere.

How much time does it take for a day to pass on mars?

A day on Mars, known as a sol, is approximately 24 hours and 39 minutes. This difference compared to Earth's 24-hour day is due to Mars' slightly longer rotation period.

Is mars a planet or a star?

Mars is a planet, not a star. It is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. Stars are massive luminous spheres of plasma held together by gravity that generate light and heat through nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets do not have their own light source.

When does Mars come out?

Mars is always visible in the night sky and can be seen with the naked eye when it is above the horizon. Its visibility depends on its position in its orbit relative to Earth and can vary throughout the year. Astronomical apps or websites can help you track when Mars will be visible in your location.

How long would it take to get to Mars in a space shuttle?

Mars is at its closest to earth: 54.6 million km

The top speed of the shuttle is: 27.870 km per hours

So: around 82 days

But that sounds quite difficult, then you still have to get back, have enough fuel (which weighs you down). On space sites, you'll find different data, from 6 months to 5 years but I just calculated under the ideal circumstance's: Smallest distance, top speed.

Is Mercury bigger than Mars?

Mercury has a diameter of 3,745 km (4,208 miles)

Mars has a diameter of 6,772 km (4,208 miles)


Resulting in Mars close to double the size/diameter of Mercury.


Earth is actually the biggest planet of the Outer Planets. Our sister planet (Venus) comes close, then Mars and Mercury.

How many landings on Mars have been successful?

As of now, there have been eight successful landings on Mars. These successful landings were accomplished by various missions such as the Viking program, Mars Pathfinder, Spirit and Opportunity rovers, Phoenix lander, Curiosity rover, InSight lander, and Perseverance rover.

Why would you weigh less on Mars than on Earth?

On Mars, you weigh 37.7% as much as you would on Earth. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 37.7 pounds on Mars. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 56.6 pounds. The equation is .37 x Earth weight = Martian weight.

What is further from Earth - Jupiter or Mars?

Jupiter is further from Earth than Mars. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun, while Mars is the fourth planet.

What are two ways that Earth and Mars are the same?

they r the same by they bothe have same amount of dry land and bothe have water(mars could have water from its large polar ice caps!)fo more info go 2 google.com,type in this question,and look 4 somthing under NASA artical...somthin like that.

Why did 30 seconds to mars break up?

30 Seconds to Mars has not broken up. The band is still active and occasionally releases new music.

When did the planet mars get its name?

Because Mars is one of the five planets in our Solar System (along with Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn) that can be seen brightly at night (though only like a star) without the use of binoculars or telescopes, it is impossible to have an exact date of when it was discovered.

However, we know that Mars was discovered in the BC era by the Romans, who named it after the Roman god of war, Mars.

How far away is Mars to Jupiter?

Mars and Jupiter are separated by an asteroid belt. The distance between them is 3.7 AUs (Astronomical Units). One AU is equal to the distance between the sun and the earth.

1 AU = 150 million kilometers (93 million miles)

3.7 AU = 555 million km (344 million miles)

The actual distance from Jupiter to Mars is constantly changing.

Which features on mars point to the possibility of liquid water on the planet?

The presence of hydrated minerals, recurring slope lineae (dark streaks on slopes), and the discovery of ancient river valleys and lakebeds suggest that liquid water may have existed on Mars in the past. Additionally, recent observations of briny water flowing on the surface during specific seasons further support the possibility of liquid water on Mars.

When was the first mars rover lauched?

The first Mars Rover, Spirit was launched on the 10 of June 2003.

Strictly speaking there was an earlier one, but it was only a little rover

called "Sojourner". That landed on Mars in1997.

What is the temperature range highs and lows on mars?

The temperature on Mars can range from as low as -195°F (-125°C) at the poles to as high as 70°F (20°C) in equatorial regions during the day. However, temperatures can drop significantly at night, sometimes reaching as low as -100°F (-73°C).

What are three discoveries made by spacecraft that have been sent to study mars?

  1. Evidence of ancient water channels, lakes, and glaciers on Mars, suggesting the presence of liquid water in the planet's past.
  2. Identification of methane in the Martian atmosphere, hinting at potential microbial life or geological activity.
  3. Detection of diverse minerals and geological formations, providing insights into Mars' geological history and potential habitability.

Is Mars bigger than Uranus?

Uranus has a diameter about 4 times larger than the Earth's.

See related link for a pictorial comparison.

What is the minimum distance between earth and Mars?

The minimum distance between Earth and Mars can vary depending on their positions in their orbits. On average, Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers away from Earth, but at their closest approach during opposition, they can get as close as 54.6 million kilometers.

How long does it take mars to make a full rotation around the sun?

Mars does not rotate around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days for Mars to revolve once around the Sun.

Planets and moons rotate about their own axes, but they revolve around the Sun (for planets) or (for moons) other planets.

Does phobos volcanoes?

No, Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, does not have any volcanoes on its surface. Phobos is a small and heavily cratered body, and its surface is primarily made up of regolith and rocks. It is believed that Phobos is a captured asteroid rather than a volcanic body like some other moons in the Solar System.
