If you weighed 100 lbs on Earth, you would weigh only 38 lbs on Mars! GRAVITY On Mars, you'd experience 62.5% less gravity than you're used to on Earth
• How do the maximum, minimum, and mean temperature and pressure levels on Earth and Mars compare? • How does the variability of Martian temperature and pressure compare with the variability of temperature and
Using (A) Earth, Earth’s Moon, Mars Comparison worksheet, ask students to make a prediction using a drawing of the Earth, Earth’s Moon, and Mars, showing what they think the sizes are in relationship to each other.
These missions have shown us that Mars’ solid surface is much like that of Earth. Mars missions will launch about every two years, to gain a better understanding of Mars’ geologic history and search for evidence of past or present life.
Mars is no place for the faint-hearted. It’s dry, rocky, and bitter cold. The fourth planet from the Sun, Mars, is one of Earth's two closest planetary neighbors (Venus is the other). Mars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky — it looks like a bright red point of light.
comparisons between geologic features found on both Earth and Mars. This will allow them to potentially narrow down their interests towards a particular topic.
The Mars 2020/Perseverance rover is designed to better understand the geology of Mars and seek signs of ancient life. The mission will collect and store a set of rock and soil samples that could be returned to Earth in the future. It will also test new Key Objectives Mission Timeline • Launch in July-August 2020 from Cape
To learn some basic concepts about craters on Mars using three investigative techniques: image inter-pretation, modeling, and Mars-Earth comparisons. Overview Students examine images of Martian craters and speculate about what caused them. Next, they model the formation of an impact crater by drop-ping objects into a tray of powder. They examine
With a radius of 2,106 miles (3,390 kilometers), Mars is about half the size of Earth. If Earth were the size of a nickel, Mars would be about as big as a raspberry.
