Grossmont College Astronomy Questions

 

I’m working on a astronomy discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Consider the following discussions and write a minimum 3 sentence response to each question

  1. Would you currently explore Mercury with a satellite or rover? Why or why not?
  2. If Mercury formed at 1 AU at its current size, do you think life would have been able to form? Why or why not?
  3. Would you currently explore Venus with a satellite or rover? Why or why not?
  4. If Venus had developed a mostly nitrogen atmosphere like Earth but was still located at 0.72 AU, do you think life could develop on this planet? Why or why not?
  5. Would you currently explore Mars with a satellite or rover (or humans)? Why or why not?
  6. If Mars had current plate tectonics and the same atmosphere as Earth but its size and distance from the Sun stayed the same, would life be able to survive on this planet? If so, describe a day on Mars (i.e. what would you explore, would you do some sightseeing, etc.). If not, why not?
