- The Sun. Humans stand absolutely no chance near the sun. We would get vaporized in less than a second, even with a spacesuit on, let alone without one!
- Mercury. Mercury is a planet of extremes. The side facing the sun is extremely hot, whereas the other side is incredibly cold. The temperatures range from -150 C to 425 C. To top that off, the lack of air will cause serious problems on this planet.
- Venus. Visiting Venus would be like landing inside of an oven. The temperature on its surface is approximately 400C. Its surface pressure is also about 90 times greater than that of Earth.
- Earth. Without holding our breaths, or donning any kind of spacesuit, we can survive for about 80 years… not bad!

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in our solar system. Its surface comprises various materials, including basaltic rock, dust, and ice. The planet’s famous red hue comes from a fine layer of iron oxide covering its surface. Mars is also covered by craters, canyons, volcanoes, and other features that give us an in...
Movies like The Martian have inspired many of us to think about what life on the red planet might be like. But the truth is, the colonization of Mars remains in the realms of science fiction – for now, at least. The first challenge would be the lack of oxygen in Mars’s atmosphere. Remember, our current spacesuits are far less efficient than the one...
Mars’s gravity is approximately one-third that of Earth. This means that a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would only weigh 38 pounds on Mars. The gravity on Mars is weaker than Earth’s due to its smaller size, mass, and distance from the Sun. Despite this, it still affects the atmosphere, surface features, and even the way spacecraft lands o...
Walking on Mars is still the work of science fiction in today’s world for several reasons. We need technology developed enough to support us in an oxygen-free environment where the air is thin, and temperatures drop far below freezing. Still, several great scientific minds are working on getting humans to the red planet, and this could likely becom...

Air contains 20.95% oxygen. At 11,900 m (39,000 ft), breathing pure oxygen through an unsealed face mask, one is breathing the same partial pressure of oxygen as one would experience with regular air at around 3,600 m (11,800 ft) above sea level.
Mars has gravity, so adverse effects may be less than spending the same amount of time on the ISS, but day-to-day activity in Mars' reduced gravity will certainly not load the body as much as activity on Earth.
Sep 21, 2014 · At the Karman Limit (on Earth), the pressure is 0.0001 PSI. My estimation to achieve the same pressure on Mars means you'd have to reach an altitude of about 65 km. Using that calculation,...
Jun 18, 1998 · The optimal walking speed on Mars will be 3.4 km h−1 (down from 5.5 km h−1 on Earth) and the work done per unit distance to move the centre of mass will be half that on Earth.

Sep 30, 2014 · The results showed that the ideal walking speed on Mars will be only a little more than half of the terrestrial average. Although martian explorers will walk more slowly than they would on Earth, they will expend only half as much energy to move an object.
