While some deaths would be instantaneous, others would allow you to experience the horror of being exposed to another world for a brief time.

Imagining what it would be like to visit another planet has been a staple of science fiction for decades. Whether it's here in the Solar System or out somewhere else in the universe, other worlds tend to intrigue us.

"Humans require oxygen to breathe," Jennifer Glass, an associate professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences & Biological Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, told."Earth's atmosphere today contains 20% oxygen. Without oxygen in the gas we breathe, humans die of asphyxia—lack of oxygen—in about seven minutes."

Therefore, death on the cold side would be similar to death in outer space and probably be over in minutes."If you died on the hot side, you would be burned to death in seconds, while asphyxiating and having all the water vaporize from your body," said Glass.Proportionally the most Earth-like planet in the Solar System, but the similarities end there.

However, even if a human were to be placed on the equator in the summer, they would not last long. Mars' atmosphere is almost pure carbon dioxide. In some ways, this would make it one of the worst planets to die on.
