Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The visibility of Mars' surface from Earth is not significantly enhanced by high mountain ranges casting strong shadows. The primary factors that make Mars' surface more easily seen include its relative proximity to Earth, its position high in the sky at midnight when at opposition, and its thin, almost cloudless atmosphere, which allows for clearer views of the surface. High mountain ranges on Mars, like Olympus Mons, do not directly contribute to the ease of observation from Earth in the context of the reasons listed.
