RE: How Can Sunlight Hurt Plants?
I know this is off topic but can we use plant to terraform mars because mars atmosphere composed of 95% co2?

I've actually done some research on this for my "Mars" series that recently ended.
Yes, we could use plants to terraform Mars but it would take a bit. The start would be with resistant lichens and mosses and then work up to more complicated plants as the oxygen content rises. An atmosphere would form bit by bit and the temperature would increase.
That implies, of course, that somebody is overseeing that and constantly introducing the right plants all over the planet.
Interesting. I'm resteeming and upvoting this. 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆 Thanks again for sharing...and don't forget to keep steeming OK?
Earth is home.
Everywhere else is fantasy land.
And will be for a Loooooooooong time.
Hi @kizzbonez. I honestly don’t know what difficulties we might run into trying to grow plants in space. I think you would have to grow them in some type of structure on mars. I did read this article a while back about some work NASA was doing regarding growing plants that I’ll share with you.
