SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Aside from the necessities to sustain life, there are other challenges that people would face if they were to live on Mars. For example, the temperature gets very, very cold at night, below-100 degrees Fahrenheit. Mars also has dust storms, high levels of radiation, and less gravity than Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mars’ atmosphere is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, but there is so little carbon dioxide overall that the greenhouse effect is essentially negligible. This, coupled with the distance from the sun means that the temperature of Mars is significantly lower than the Earth’s temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -The surface of Mars is barren and inhospitable, but perhaps it wasn’t always that way. Billions of years ago, when life emerged on Earth, the climate of Mars could have been Earth-like as well, with a thicker atmosphere than today and oceans of liquid water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mars doesn’t have an intrinsic global magnetic field, but the solar wind directly interacts with the atmosphere of Mars, leading to the formation of a magnetosphere from magnetic field tubes. This poses challenges for mitigating solar radiation and retaining an atmosphere.
