Question

How can gravity influence our lives on Mars? How will other living things be affected? Use evidence from your research to support your claims.

Answer 1

The planets Earth and Mars have few things in common. Both planets have roughly the same amount of land surface area, sustained polar caps, and both have a similar tilt in their rotational axes, affording each of them strong seasonal variability. Additionally, both planets present strong evidence of having undergone climate change in the past. In Mars' case, this evidence points towards it once having a viable atmosphere and liquid water on its surface.

Answer 2

Based on my research, I can conclude that humans will not have a stable environment as we do now on earth and that could affect us in long-term ways. Example: a low gravity environment can highly affect our health, and less likely for human fertility, in other words, making children. "Gravity on the Red Planet is 0.375 that of Earth's, which means a 180-pound person on Earth would weigh a scant 68 pounds on Mars." This brings back my last statement of how we need gravity to keep a stable environment, otherwise, we'd die.

I have conducted in my honors A&P that you can even simply die with hypoxia due to the lack of oxygen in mars and around it's atmosphere. "We need to breathe oxygen," said Lee.
