Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.

Mars’s axis of rotation is tilted 25.2 degrees relative to the plane of the planet’s orbit around the sun, which helps give Mars seasons similar to those on Earth. Whichever hemisphere is ...

When Mars’ orbit comes closest to Earth (every two years), Mars is still 100 times further away than the Moon. Currently, a journey to Mars would take at least six months. The atmosphere on Mars ...

rotation, velocity and distance from Mars during its closest approach. While some of the debris is lost to space, they found that enough fragments from the original asteroid survived in orbit in ...

NASA is developing a groundbreaking spacecraft concept designed to revolutionize Mars travel. The ambitious plan involves assembling a football-field-sized spacecraft in orbit using advanced robotics.

In fact, previous studies have claimed that even a tiny shift in Jupiter’s orbit could have bizarre effects on Earth. But what if we put an entire planet between Jupiter and Mars? According to ...
