Mars Is Better Than Venus

The planet Mars is a red plant that is found in the Solar System in the Milky Way Galaxy one planets farther from the sun than Earth. The planet Mars has a very thin atmosphere full of primarily carbon dioxide. The surface of Mars is very dusty and rocky because of volcanoes. The geology of Mars is different from Earth in many ways including the amount of volcanoes, mountains, valleys, and internal makeup.

Recently, I have read Mars is Heaven (MIH) by Ray Bradbury and The Machine Stops (TMS) by E.M. Forster, which are both short story Sci- Fi books and a fascinating read. Both stories were published in the 1900’s and there are similarities between today’s society and the society of the past. Intriguing concepts, theories and ideas stem from both of these books. Much like in (TMS) the role of technology is seen as a god, today we could never see ourselves worshipping at our mobile phones however if you really think about it we check our phones a couple of times a minute. Is this a form of worship? And are we aware that it is evolving into something that is taking over our lives completely. After reading both novels I have decided to identify, analyze, dissect and expand on a range of critical approaches both authors have used in their books (MIH) and (TMS).

Mars is an interesting and mysterious planet. It is often referred to as the Red Planet. The Romans named Mars after the god of war. The rocks, soil, and sky all have a red hue on account of rust. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 141 million miles (228 million kilometers) and the last terrestrial planet from the Sun. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth (6,794-km) and about one-tenth of Earth s mass (6.419 x 1023 kg). Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Mars is probably the planet we know the most about since it is so close to Earth, though what we know now is not even close to everything about the planet. Over

Mars is like Venus it is very bright and therefore easily spotted in the night sky. Mars was discovered by christian Huygens he saw a big red planet it was first called Syrtis Major many people liked Mars, they started to make movies about it and made this alien up called "Martians"

However, compared to other planets in space, Mars is humanity's best chance at attempting to colonize. The colonization of the Red Planet is drawing near due to many different space venturing companies coming together.

Mars is the farthest Terrestrial Planet from the sun, so it would make sense that it is also the coldest. Mars is 1.5 AU from the sun, but this is only one factor in Mars' temperature.

Mars, also known as the Red Planet, is the fourth planet from the Sun. Mars is the only planet in the Solar System to have abit of similarity to Planet Earth. Although Earth is the only planet in our Solar System to have conditions to have life in abundance. Planet Earth’s position in the Goldilock Zone, which contains plenty water, an atmosphere rich with oxygen and an average temperature of 15℃, life flourishes on Earth with these conditions. Seen on Mars is a bright coloured rust, this rust that Mars is known for is due to iron rich minerals.

Imagine living on Venus, Have you? What if you had the chance to live on Venus, Would you? If you had to go to Mars, it would be more expensive, meaning you’d be paying more when Venus takes less time and Money. Not to mention, did you know that Venus’s gravity is the closest to Earth’s, at about 9/10th’s? Mars only has a third of the gravity that Earth does.

Mars orbits our sun, a star. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at a distance of about 228 million km (142 million miles) or 1.52 AU.

Venus is the closest planet to earth and the second one from the sun. Earth and Venus are similar in size, mass, volume, and density. It traps heat making it the hottest planet in our solar system. The surface temperature on Venus is about 867° F. (464° C) It should take about 97 days to reach it.

Never Go To Mars! Mars is a terrible place to live. Even the thought of living there is atrocious. Think to yourself, would you really like to live on a dusty rock in space? Why would you want to live on a planet that humans are just going to trash and ruin again?

But why? First and foremost, basic logistics caused NASA to stay within our solar system when searching for water. To date, only one human-made object has ventured outside of our solar system. The primary setback of this expedition was that it took 36 years to complete. With that option rejected, NASA’s search for water moved into our own solar system focusing on the planets, which would make it more feasible for potential human travel. NASA’s search repeatedly hit dead ends. Venus, although close to Earth, has extremely hot temperatures and acid rain; and Mercury was an automatic no because of how close it is positioned to the sun, giving the planet extremely hot temperatures. Both Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants (no solid surface), so they, too, were out of the running. Going farther back, Uranus and Neptune are way too cold. So why was Mars the chosen one? One of the main reasons is its close proximity to Earth. Actually, it would “only” take approximately seven months for humans to reach Mars. Days and nights on Mars are very similar to days and nights on Earth, as well. “Mars also has a similar day length to Earth, so when you arrive there you won’t feel a big time and day difference and it also has a similar landscape to Earth” (Planet Mars para. 2). With this advantage, astronauts would

red planet but when you get close to it it looks like butterscotch. Mars has so many coolers it has

The size and density of Venus are very similar to the Earth, but, unlike this, has a very dense atmosphere, which is composed of carbon dioxide and thick clouds of up to 15km in thickness formed by droplets of sulfuric acid. Due to the thick layer of clouds, Venus is the planet of the solar system with the higher surface temperature.

One could ask “Why would Mars be the next Earth?” I ask the same question to a scientist name Phillip Zoober. According to Zoober and Bonsor “How Terraforming Mars Will Work”, Mars and Earth have the same properties. Earth axis is tilted on a 23.4 degrees, rotation rate of 23 hours and 57 minutes, and billions of years ago Earth didn’t have oxygen just like Mars. On the other hand, Mars axis is tilted on a 24 degrees, rotation rate of 24 hours and 37 minutes, and its atmosphere is consisted of mostly carbon dioxide. Mars isn’t exactly the same as Earth, but its has a higher chance than any other planets on becoming a livable planet. While the other planets are farther away from the sun or too close to the sun.
