What is the temperature on Mars? Know how different it is from Earth

Mars, fourth planet of our Solar System, is amongst closest planets to our home. Even though it is so close to our planet, Mars is cold, rough and can be dangerous for any human as 95 per cent of its atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide. Scientists keep sending rovers to red planet to find out clues about it. Many people keep trying to find out what is temperature on Mars and wher it would be suitable for us. If you are wondering same, do t worry, here is all you need to kw.

What is temperature on Mars?

Earth is currently only kwn planet that has has a suitable atmosphere, gravity, and temperature to sustain humans are similar life forms. However, Mars, which is about 99.101 million km away from us, has an entirely different system in its environment. This is reason why Mars' atmosphere is about 100 times thinner than Earth's. aver temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit i.e. minus 62 degrees Celsius. Whereas, according to 2017 data, Earth's aver temperature is 58.62 F i.e. 14.79 degrees Celsius.

This means that without a 'rmal blanket,' Mars cant retain any heat energy. As per reports, Mars temperature near poles falls down to minus 195 degrees F i.e. minus 125 degrees C, during winter. Neverless, summers on Mars near equator are better than winter as temperature may get up to 70 degrees F i.e. 20 degrees C which is quite close to Earth's aver temperature, but summer nights are unpredictable as temperature can dive to about minus 100 degrees F i.e. minus 73 C.

Once, Mars Curiosity rover of NASA measured air temperature on Mars to be 43 degrees F. i.e, 6 degrees C, in afteron. This intrigued many astromers as y find it astonishing to see temperatures this warm. As per reports, as dawn approaches, air on fourth planet gets warmer turning frost into vapour which leads to 100 per cent humidity. Scientists believe that Mars could become more habitable due to humidity if water condenses to form short-term puddles in early morning hours.

About Mars Perseverance rover mission

NASA's latest mission to Mars is 2020 Mars Perseverance rover mission. This has brought light in new era of Mars exploration, as per NASA. reports reveal that if  Mars 2020 mission is t launched before mid-August, organisation would have to face a costly two-year delay until next time Earth and Mars are in right positions in solar system. This is reportedly first time NASA is sending a rover for Astrobiology, a mission to find life on Red Planet.
