Conclusion
Even though similarity of the size of the Mars and Earth and the distance from the sun is close, the environment of Mars is not as same as the Earth for life to exist so far. Mars is small as compared of the Earth, which has less gravity. Since, there is not much atmosphere with no ozone layer and no protection from the ultraviolet radiation of the Sun is harmful for existence of
