    Here to clear things up since while reading comments it came to my attention that some of the things I said were misunderstood.
    Q: How did you calculate that the average time that light needs to reach Mars from Earth is 12 minutes?
    A: *Average distance* between Mars and Earth is *225 million kilometers* , meaning *12 minutes* is the average amount of time that light travels between Mars and Earth. I know that Mars is as well 12 light-minutes away from the Sun, that is *not* the distance that I was referring to, I was *specifically* referring to the *average distance between Mars and Earth* , this was *not* a mix up of those two distances. (225m km ÷ 300k km/s = 750s = 12.5 minutes)
    Q: What does it mean that the gravity of Mars is 2.5 times lower? How can it be 2.5 times lower if you are multiplying by 2.5?
    A: If 2.5 x 3.72 m/s² (gravity of Mars) is barely around 9.82 m/s² (gravity of Earth), then 2.5 times is approximately how many times the gravity of Earth is stronger and *how many times the gravity of Mars is lower* , it is just *inverse rational* with which you are *100%* able to convey the difference between the strength across. ( 9.8 ÷ 2.5 ≈ 3.7 then 2.5 x 3.7 ≈ 9.8 ) the symbol ≈ means approximately.
    Q: Weight is measured in newtons, not in kilograms, why did you show weight in kilograms?
    A: *I was specifically talking about what the weighing scale would show on Mars* . Weighing scales show your weight in kilograms, (kgf, kilogram-force), they determine your weight by the amount of force that is applied on them, because of that weighing scales on Mars would universally show your weight in kgf as 2.5 times less.
    Q: Why did you compare Olympus Mons with Mount Everest, when there is Mauna Kea?
    A: *Because both Olympus Mons and Mount Everest have the highest elevation points from the reference points with which they are measured* , even if we measure them from the lowest point on Mars and Earth, they *still* have the highest elevation points at around 30 km for Olympus Mons and 19 km for Mount Everest. Also, for simplicity, everyone has heard of Mount Everest and knows that from the sea level to the top it takes the spot for height. Olympus Mons and every other elevation on the surface of Mars is *measured by how much it is above datum* which is base/reference point from which it is measured similar to how *sea level is our reference point here* for Mount Everest and every other elevation, *the reference point is not the lowest point* on Mars, which is why Olympus Mons is considered to be 21 km in height and *not* around 30 km. Olympus Mons and Mount Everest are comparable since they are both the tallest relative to their reference point. Mauna Kea is indeed the tallest from its base to peak at around 10 km in height, but the majority of the volcano is actually underwater. Now we can also consider Chimborazo to be the tallest if we measure the height from the center of our planet, it is all really just a matter of from what point do we start to measure the mountain.
    Q: What is the color of the martian atmosphere really?
    A: The color most of the time is slightly orange since most of the time there are lots of dust particles floating around on the surface of Mars.
    I edited out a few sequences in the video which seemed to cause the most confusion.

      It's not an accident. Both are close to the largest deviation from spherical shape that their planetary gravities allow. If they grew significantly more than that, their highest parts would collapse below that limit.

    • @tar170
      @tar170 4 года назад +93

      That's a curious way to describe the measurement of gravity. Mars has approximately 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity. "2.5 times lower" is a weird hybrid, combining multiplication and subtraction. Would we say that a 5m tree has 2 times lower height than a 10m tree? No. We would say it has half the height (5/10 = 1/2) or 0.5 times the height.

      Indeed, the surface of Olympus Mons is very rough, consisting of irregular cooled lava flows and some deep dust drifts. For a preview of the surface, try walking around on fresh volcanic lava flows on the large volcanoes in Hawaii, as that would give you some idea of how hard just trying to walk there might be "Climbing" the mountain would be difficult at best, although there are at least two or three routes up from the surrounding plains that would not require directly scaling the tall escarpment near the volcano's base.

    When we replace Hubble, I wonder if we could retrofit it, and send it to a "Geostationary orbit around Mars. We could then use it in concert with newer Earth Telescopes. Perhaps with this technique we could guage the distances of far away objects.
    Maybe in the future we might use Earth/Mars observational systems to better calculate distances/locations of Blackholes and other phenomena, through their gravitational waves.

      @@Marauder1981 Highest is defined as the distance of the peak above sea level. Tallest is defined as the distance from the base to the peak. As an example, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. But because it is close to sea level, even a one floor building in Denver would be higher.
      So, the peak of Everest is the point on Earth furthest sea level but Mauna Kea is taller from base to peak. Also, Everest sits on the Tibetan Plateau which is 4500m high on average, so if one considers the Tibetan Plateau to be the base, from base to peak Everest is only about 4400m tall.
