In what year will Mars and the moon next appear to be the same size?

Answer 1

In the year 2525 if man is still alive if woman can survive they will see......... um, never.

According to some questions I've seen on here today it could be Mercury or Venus or Saturn or Pluto that will look as big as the Moon.

I say hell let's get 'em all up there at once and have six or seven Moons in August.

Answer 2

That never happens. This myth started in 2003 when Mars came closer to Earth than at any time in the last 50,000 years, and this bogus story has been repeated every summer ever since. But even in 2003 it never got close enough to look like anything other than a bright star. This year Mars will not pass close to Earth until winter, and even then it won't be as close as it was in 2003.

Answer 3

Never. How could it? Mars is at its closest 35 MILLION miles from Earth.
For it to appear the same size as the moon it would have to be about 700,000 miles from Earth. Never gonna happen.
And never did (not even in 2003 as some people seem to think).

Answer 4

The Moon and mars NEVER appear the same size, not in 2003, not this year, not next year, mot EVER. It is simply impossible due to their sizes and their distances from Earth.

Answer 5

Never. The Moon is at an average distance of 384000 kms from Earth. Mars is bigger than the Moon, but its average distance from Earth is 70 millions of kms, about 20000 times the distance Earth-Moon. Even at its minimum distance from Earth (favourable opposition), it will be at 48 millions of kms from Earth. So Mars will appear as a bright red star, but far from Moon's dimensions.

Answer 6

It has never happened before, so predicting another date is impossible.

Answer 7

Never...

Answer 8

NEVER HAS NEVER WILL!
