If there is water on Mars will people move to Mars and plant plants to make the air safe?
If there is water on Mars it will make it a lot easier for humans to visit Mars, but it would take a long time before humans could live permanently on Mars. Unfortunatley making the air safe on mars is not as easy as just planting plants to convert the CO2 to oxygen. The atmosphere of Mars is very thin and would take a build up of lots of different greenhouse gases (like water vapor, CO2, Oxygen) to thicken it. We would also need this thick atmospher to protect us from radiation form the sun, not just to have safe air to breathe. It would probably take hundreds if not thousands of years to make the atmosphere on Mars safe for humans to live like we do here. The process of making Mars more like Earth is called terraforming. A fun book to read to learn about this is the Red Mars trilogy. I can’t remember the author right now…but if you’re interested it shouldn’t be hard to find. Hope this helps!
