Mars never gets much larger than an orange coloured point of light
No. This is a repeat of a hoax from 2006. At it's nearest Mars will only look about 500 times smaller than the Moon.
Mars is about twice as big as the Moon.
Yes. Mars will be visible low in the Eastern sky starting about 2 hours before dawn. But Mars will NEVER look "as big as the full moon!" as the Mars Hoax insists. Sorry; it won't happen.
Mars is clearly visible low in the Eastern sky about 2 hours before dawn. If you were waiting to see Mars as big as the full Moon... Well, that was a hoax. Sorry about that.
Mars is always larger than the moon. However, I think you mean will it appear bigger than our moon. No - never - not even close.
It will never look as big as the Moon. This is the "Mars Hoax", which dates back to 2003.
The adverage diameter of Mars's moon Deimos is 14Km.
Mars
Deimos is 12km in diameter
Yes. On August 27, 2009, Mars will be a tiny red dot in the sky which will rise about 2 hours before sunrise, and be visible about 40 degrees above the eastern horizon at dawn.If you're reading that "Mars will appear as big as the full moon!"... well, that was a hoax that gets sent out every year about this time, but it is not true. Mars will NEVER appear as big as the full Moon; Mars is 35 million miles away at the closest, and right now is closer to 120 million miles away.
Nothing will happen on August 27, 2014 concerning the moon. There is hoax going around about Mars, it is not true.
