What’s the gravity on Mars?
Mars is smaller than Earth, so the effect of gravity is much weaker there than it is here. If you look at the bright side, that’s actually great news, especially for those who want to lose weight fast. Let me explain to you why. If you weighted 75 kg on Earth, that number would drop to 28 kg on Mars. For those who want the exact formula, here it is: Weight on Mars = (Weight on Earth/Earth’s gravity (9.81m/s2)) * Martian gravity (3.711m/s2).
What is there between Mars and Jupiter?
The answer to that is very simple. Asteroids. And there are millions of them out there, according to NASA. In addition, many of the identified asteroids in the Solar System are scattered between Mars and Jupiter,. The majority are quite small, from the size of boulders to a few thousand feet in diameter. But there are some larger ones, too the biggest being the Dwarf planet Ceres.
Furthermore, there are millions of smaller asteroids with a distance between them distributed over millions of kilometers.
What is the weather like on Mars?
Mars is a planet capable of having weather and clouds, despite its thin atmosphere. It is also quite windy out there, considering that Mars has the greatest dust storms in the entire Solar System.
If you want to find out the exact weather it is right now on the Red Planet, NASA’s InSight rover is working as an on-location weather reporter.
