The Orbit of Mars - Did It Become So Erratic that it hit the Earth Twice | |
gdwk (OP) User ID: 1405311 United States 10/03/2011 04:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The orbit of Mars is outside the orbit of earth. The orbit has become eccentric due to the gravitational pull of Jupiter and Saturn. It would have been impossible for Mars to collide with earth since earth's gravity has negligible influence on Mars in comparison to Jupiter and Saturn. |
