Mars and Earth - Small difference & big consequences

Einstein's theory of relativity suggests that time is not a constant and can vary based on gravitational fields and speed. In a strong gravitational field, time moves slower compared to a weaker one. Since Mars has a weaker gravitational field than Earth, time actually flows slightly faster there.  This concept has implications for future space missions, as the timing of communication and operation of spacecraft will need to account for this difference in how time elapses on Mars compared to Earth. Missions may need to adjust their schedules, operations, and technology to ensure accuracy and synchronization with Earth. Basically, the moment you bring gravity and velocity into the picture, time stops behaving like the simple, universal tick‑tock we experience in everyday life. And you’re absolutely right: Mars’ weaker gravity means clocks there run a little faster than clocks on Earth. What’s fascinating is how small the difference is—and how big the consequences become ...

Jupitor
Astronomers just found a "Hot Jupiter" , a gas giant, so dark that it absorbs nearly 99% of the light. It also has a permanent night and day.

Naptune
The color of Neptune is a bright azure blue. During its flyby in 1989, NASA's Voyager 2 revealed the bright blue color, different from the pale blue color of Uranus.

Mars
From close up, it looks more of a butterscotch, and other common surface colors include golden, brown, tan, and greenish, depending on minerals.

Venus
Using human eyes, looking at Venus as it floats in space, would show that the color is a yellowish white. Close up on the planet we would see the reddish-brown surface
