From Mars orbit, Earth appears as a small, bright blue and white dot in the sky. It is significantly smaller and less detailed than what we see from Earth's surface.
No, the distance between Mars and Earth is too great for man-made structures or features to be visible to the naked eye from Mars orbit.
Earth is visible from Mars orbit approximately every two years when the two planets are at their closest point in their respective orbits.
Yes, other planets such as Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn can also be seen from Mars orbit depending on their relative positions in their orbits.
The view of Earth from Mars orbit is unique because it is the only planet in our solar system known to support life. Other planets may appear similar in size and color, but Earth's atmosphere and abundance of water make it stand out in the vastness of space.
