Imagine you’re in a big car that’s going really, really fast, like super-duper fast! That’s kind of what it feels like when you land on Mars. You’d probably feel squished and maybe even hear some loud noises from the spaceship. Then, once you get out, it would be super quiet because there's no air to carry sound. It would also feel lighter, like walking on a beach after a wave hits, that’s because gravity is weaker on Mars.
Examples
- You land in a car that’s been going super fast, it feels like being pushed into a big pillow.
- It's so quiet on Mars you can hear your own breath even when you're not talking.
