If you were to colonize a planet, (Mars) what problems will you face
Thin Atmosphere
Mars’ atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and very thin.
Humans cannot breathe without oxygen tanks.
Average temperature is about -65°C, ranging from -153 to 20
Low Gravity
Mars has about 38% of Earth’s gravity.
lack of a global magnetic field on Mars, meaning that we won’t have protection from harmful radiation
Radiation
Mars has no strong magnetic field, so the surface is exposed to cosmic rays and solar radiation.
Water Scarcity
Most water is frozen in ice caps or underground.
You’d need to extract and purify water for drinking, farming, and oxygen.
Dust Storms
Global storms can cover the planet for weeks, blocking sunlight and affecting solar power.
Lack of Supplies and agricultural
Mars is millions of kilometers away, so resupply missions are slow and expensive.
