There have been many explorations to Mars by humans since the mid-20th century. Scientists hope that we can find another planet to accommodate human life.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">2. There are major reasons why the climate on Mars is unsuitable for human life. Temperatures on Mars can be as low as -87 degrees Celsius and rarely get above 0 degrees Celsius. But the bigger problem is the lack of oxygen. 95% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide (CO2), and this is poisonous to breathe. Moreover, there is no water on Mars even though scientists have found traces of it.</p><div class="google-auto-placed ap_container" style="width: 100%; height: auto; clear: both; text-align: center;"><ins data-ad-format="auto" class="adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8123786206223951" data-adsbygoogle-status="done" style="display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 0px;"><div id="aswift_3_host" tabindex="0" title="Advertisement" aria-label="Advertisement" style="border: none; height: 0px; width: 741px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; background-color: transparent; display: inline-block; overflow: visible; opacity: 1;"><iframe id="aswift_3" name="aswift_3" style="left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; border: 0px; width: 741px; height: 0px;" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" width="741" height="0" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" src="https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-8123786206223951&amp;output=html&amp;h=90&amp;adk=1973418407&amp;adf=4280474192&amp;pi=t.aa~a.1694800419~i.17~rp.4&amp;w=741&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1690917524&amp;num_ads=1&amp;rafmt=1&amp;armr=3&amp;sem=mc&amp;pwprc=7302649500&amp;ad_type=text_image&amp;format=741x90&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fsachgiaokhoa.online%2Fskills-1-2371G2942.html&amp;fwr=0&amp;pra=3&amp;rh=186&amp;rw=741&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;wgl=1&amp;fa=27&amp;uach=WyJtYWNPUyIsIjEzLjAuMCIsIng4NiIsIiIsIjExNS4wLjU3OTAuMTE0IixbXSwwLG51bGwsIjY0IixbWyJOb3QvQSlCcmFuZCIsIjk5LjAuMC4wIl0sWyJHb29nbGUgQ2hyb21lIiwiMTE1LjAuNTc5MC4xMTQiXSxbIkNocm9taXVtIiwiMTE1LjAuNTc5MC4xMTQiXV0sMF0.&amp;dt=1690917524383&amp;bpp=2&amp;bdt=1279&amp;idt=2&amp;shv=r20230727&amp;mjsv=m202307270401&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3D94547395a8fa18af-22e89ad22ae300c0%3AT%3D1690912062%3ART%3D1690917234%3AS%3DALNI_MYNbCG599XmevrUPCYJ3Zv-Np5EvA&amp;gpic=UID%3D00000d3b2ce8a729%3AT%3D1690912062%3ART%3D1690917234%3AS%3DALNI_MaVlHrwAJeI0KGbMoTcFZDk5BwO2Q&amp;prev_fmts=0x0%2C741x280&amp;nras=2&amp;correlator=852054593961&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;ga_vid=2117726640.1690917524&amp;ga_sid=1690917524&amp;ga_hid=1927040539&amp;ga_fc=0&amp;u_tz=420&amp;u_his=50&amp;u_h=1080&amp;u_w=1920&amp;u_ah=1055&amp;u_aw=1920&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=1&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=394&amp;ady=1496&amp;biw=1910&amp;bih=970&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=0&amp;eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759842%2C31076088%2C31076511%2C31076578%2C42532316%2C44788441&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=2594471125014379&amp;tmod=133538902&amp;uas=0&amp;nvt=1&amp;fc=1408&amp;brdim=0%2C25%2C0%2C25%2C1920%2C25%2C1920%2C1055%2C1920%2C970&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&amp;abl=NS&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;ifi=4&amp;uci=a!4&amp;btvi=1&amp;fsb=1&amp;xpc=DmIWVq4EOB&amp;p=https%3A//sachgiaokhoa.online&amp;dtd=8" data-google-container-id="a!4" data-google-query-id="CKTGl9OWvIADFQhgDwIdMg0OEQ" data-load-complete="true"></iframe></div></ins></div> <p style="text-align: justify;">3. However, as early as the mid-19th century, scientists discovered that Mars had some similarities to Earth. A day on Mars is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds, almost the same as a day on Earth. Mars also experiences seasons just as Earth does. However, the seasons are twice as long because a year on Mars lasts about twice as long as an Earth year.</p> <h4 style="text-align: justify;">2.
