Answer:

1. Size of Mars is smaller

2. Distance from Earth

3. Dust Storms

Explanation:

The three main reasons that we can not see the features in detail are:

Mars is almost half in size than Earth and also at a minimum distance of 54.1 million km. At such a large distance with half of its size the details are not visible very prominently.

One more reason is the continuous dust storm over Mars which blocks our view of the surface of Mars.

But still when Mars is closest to us and has a clear weather we can spot the polar ice caps using a normal telescope on Earth.

Answer: atmosphere

Explanation:

We cannot see the surface of Mars because of its thick atmosphere and of the iron dust that kicks up

If the mass of a planet is 0.231 mE and its radius is 0.528 rE, estimate the gravitational field g at the surface of the planet.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

$8.1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational field at the surface of a planet is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$ (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

For the Earth:

$g_E = \frac{GM_E}{R_E^2}=9.8 m/s^2$

For the unknown planet,

$M_X = 0.231 M_E\\R_X = 0.528 R_E$

Substituting into the eq.(1), we find the gravitational acceleration of planet X relative to that of the Earth:

$g_X = \frac{GM_X}{R_X^2}=\frac{G(0.231M_E)}{(0.528R_E)^2}=\frac{0.231}{0.528^2}(\frac{GM_E}{R_E^2})=0.829 g_E$

And substituting g = 9.8 m/s^2,

$g_X = 0.829(9.8)=8.1 m/s^2$
