Every planet has its own atmospheric gases. The atmosphere around Mars is very different from our own here on Earth. Many scientists do believe that Mars had an oxygenated atmosphere at some point in its past. But now it is too thin, and too cold that far from the Sun.
The atmosphere of Mars is made up of 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, and 1.6% argon. The remainder is probably methane. The pressure at the surface is less than in the stratosphere on Earth.
Oxygen is not thermodynamically stable in the presense of most other elements. If it's not continually renewed, it eventually combines with them. Any oxygen that may have been present in Mars' atmosphere has long ago combined with elements like iron to make iron oxide (prevalent in the soil of Mars) and carbon to make carbon dioxide (which makes up most of the atmosphere of Mars). The only reason there is elemental oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is that it's constantly being produced by plants.
Mars would need an ecosystem, namely plants, which make oxygen by taking carbon from carbon dioxide. If Mars were closer to the Sun (warm enough for liquid water), and large enough to hold a denser atmosphere, Earth-like plants could grow there. But under current conditions, plants would require pressure domes, heating, water, and artificial light.
the atmosphere is a good insulator so the oxygen isn't able to get through.
Actually, seriously, there IS oxygen in space. Just not much and each molecule is far from the next. In fact, many nebulae can be seen much better in a telescope, even amateur telescopes, by using an O3 filter. This is a narrow bandpass that filters out almost everything except for the light emitted by ionized oxygen. In space.
there is gravity in outer space, just not as much force as here on Earth, at the bottom of a gravity well. The force of gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental interactive forces. These include in order of strength electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and gravitation. Gravitation in outer space is sometimes referred to as microgravity. And because your mums not in it.
There is oxygen in the Solar System, quite a lot of it in the Earth's atmosphere. There is oxygen in the solar system. It is the 3rd most abundant element. Above 90K it is found as a gas and in this form is is able to be blown through space by solar winds. Any oxygen which has accumulated by the gravitational force of planets is will exist in the form of compounds as it does here on Earth. The dust and gas found in space is known as the interstellar medium.
Earth, Mars, and Venus are the three planets in our solar system that show signs of oxygen in their atmosphere, although the levels and presence of oxygen vary significantly among them. Earth has a rich oxygen atmosphere, while Mars and Venus have much lower levels of oxygen.
The Martian atmosphere is mainly Carbon Dioxide. Humans need Oxygen to respire but there is no Oxygen in the Martian air. Humans could still breathe in Martian air but they would die from lack the of oxygen.
The presence of trees alone does not guarantee the presence of oxygen. Trees produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, but for there to be a breathable atmosphere with sufficient oxygen, there would need to be a complex ecosystem supporting plant life on a large scale, including the recycling of carbon dioxide into oxygen. Additionally, Mars currently has a thin atmosphere that is not conducive to sustaining life as we know it.
Mars lacks a thick atmosphere to provide protection from harmful radiation, has extreme temperature fluctuations, and does not have a sustainable source of liquid water. These factors make it difficult for life as we know it to exist on Mars.
Well, friend, Mars's thin atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, so there is very little oxygen present. However, scientists have discovered trace amounts of oxygen on Mars, mostly produced from the breakdown of carbon dioxide by sunlight. Just imagine the potential for new discoveries and wonder in our exciting universe!
Yes humans will suffocat on Mars. Human depend on Oxygen to breathe and without oxygen, we will die. Oxygen is present in th Earth's atmosphere and it is not on Mars. To survive on Mars, we need to use an astronaut's suit with oxygen support.
Planning on going to a trip? Take your own oxygen with you, since you can't breath on Mars. 95.32 percent of Mars' atmosphere contains carbon dioxide. Oxygen level is 0.13% on Mars.
an oxygen tank
no there is no oxygen on mars and no water
no it does not
Yes, oxygen does exist on Mars, but in much lower concentrations compared to Earth. The atmosphere on Mars is about 95% carbon dioxide, with only about 0.1% oxygen. This low oxygen level makes it difficult for humans to breathe on Mars without assistance.
no because you need oxygen and in Mars
Earth, Mars and Mercury are the planets that have oxygen on them.
Venus has no molecular oxygen.
There is a very small amount of oxygen on Mars. The oxygen level in Marsâ?? atmosphere said to be around .145%.
If you were to just put a person on Mars, then no. There is no oxygen on Mars, and oxygen is essential to human life. However, if there were buildings which could provide the oxygen, similar to a space station, and there is plenty of food, then yes it is possible for a human to survive on Mars.
