Question

Can you drive a normal car on planet mars?

Answer 1

I suppose, if you can get it there

Answer 2

In short, no. Given the fact that a "normal" car requires oxygen and mars is a little shy in the oxygen department. Another problem would be the lack of roads. Of course you could drive a tank to solve the rock problem, but you still have the oxygen issue to deal with.  

Answer 3

The dust is too thick. A car is not designed to be exposed to Marsian dust. The dust will immediately destroy the engine.  

Answer 4

There's not enough oxygen.

The moon buggy would work.

Answer 5

Ofcorse...not

the air pressure would make the engine transmission and all the other stuff deform and therefore it wouldn't run

Answer 6

I don't know, wanna try?

Answer 7

No.  It wouldn't 'deform' but the air pressure is so light that it wouldn't gather enough oxygen during the intake cycle for combustion.

If you had an electric car, that would probably work.

Answer 8

No.  Not unless you took oxygen with you, or if it was battery powered

Answer 9

Gravity would be OK.  There isn't any oxygen in the Martian thin air.  And there aren't any roads - and rocks are everywhere.  Oh, and, the driver will need to breathe.

But there are three wheeled vehicles that have worked fine - Pathfinder, Spirit and Opportunity. (Not vehicles with three wheels - three vehicles - darn this stupid language anyway).  Mind you, they don't move very fast.  And Pathfinder's mission is over.  The twin rovers are trying to make it through winter.

Answer 10

only if you're not normal!

Answer 11

your can surely drive

but your fuel must be very efficient.because oxygen concentration on mars is very low.

Answer 12

no because of gravity
