Scientists Found Out What Other Planets Smell Like And You Are Not Gonna Like It

Now take a deep breath, what do you smell? If you are at home, it might be the aroma of foods or of the sweet smell of the flowers on the balcony. But if you are on a bus, it might be the odor of the person sitting next to you.

However, whatever it is, your nose is definitely more comfortable on Earth than on any other planets in the Solar system.

Mars

The red planet is made up of CO2, sulfur, iron, acids, and magnesium. Humans cannot breathe on Mars as we do on Earth, which is good because the whole planet stinks.

Based on these chemical compounds, scientists conclude that Mars smells just like rotten eggs.

Jupiter

Jupiter is actually a sphere of swirling gas and its smell depends on which layer of the planet you are at.

If it is the lighter layer, what you detect is ammonia, just like urine. Go a little deeper and you will smell rotten eggs mixed with ammonia.

The heavier layer has the odor of urine and the aroma of hydrogen cyanide, which is like bitter almonds.

Uranus

Uranus’s outermost layer consists of helium and hydrogen, so you will smell nothing at all. There is 2% of methane, which is known to be stinky, but the amount is too small to affect the overall impression one has of the planet.

Traveling deep into the icy giant and you will smell farts, yes, farts, which is produced by liquid ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and carbon dioxide.

Venus

Thanks to sulfur dioxide, again, our neighbor has the odor of rotten eggs.
