Life on Mars
If people are to live on another planet, this planet is likely to be Mars. But life will not be easy:
- There is very little oxygen in the air on Mars. People will have to wear spacesuits when they go outside.
- There is a lot less sunlight than on Earth. This means Mars is a lot colder than Earth.
- A lot more meteorites hit Mars than hit Earth. This makes the surface of Mars more dangerous to live on than the surface of Earth.
- Mars has dust storms that can cover the whole planet and last for months.
