Question

You move to Mars and as a momento from Earth take your Ma-maw's mercury barometer. You place it outside in the Martian atmosphere and read a very low pressure. Does the pressure reading accurately reflect the atmospheric on the surface of Mars

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the reading is not expected to be accurate. This is because Relative to Earth, the air on Mars is extremely thin. The Martian atmosphere is primarily carbon dioxide with a much lower surface pressure, and Mars does not have oceans and an Earthlike hydrological cycle so latent heat release is not as important as it is for Earth.
