Feature | Simple Speak |
Gravity (3.71 m/s2) | You’ll walk as if you’re light-hopping, you’ll weigh only 1/3rd; Jumping from a rock will feel slow motion (you’ll take about thrice as more time to fall) |
Diameter (6794 km) | Will take half the time to get around Mars, map scales will be larger |
Sun’s luminosity (40%) | Brightest days will look like very early mornings |
Atmospheric Pressure (600 Pa) | Water will boil at about 0 degrees C, right where it freezes here on Earth (see this table) |
Temperature (-60C) | Really cold as compared to most of earth |
Two Moons | As fascinating as this sounds, these are really very small rocks around Mars, as compared to our moon and have minimal effect on Mars. In reality, you can’t see a large moon on Mars (its pretty empty). |
Orbital Period (687 Days) | Summers will last about 6 months, and every other season will be longer than here. Calendars will have longer months and longer years there. |
Life (unknown) | There are no trees, no bees, no butterflies, no birds and no flowers. Its pretty empty from a living creature perspective. |
To a child’s mind, the differences are not as extraordinary as it is to adults. They are still linking to what is supposedly normal.
