Hello everyone...First post, need your opinions SVP..."Will helium behave in the same manner as it behaves on Earth...Will it be lighter than the mars atmosphere...??? -O)..Indy
Welcome to Mars...LOL

No offense but the laws of physics apply everywhere so, in short, yes...yes helium will still provide lift in the Martian atmosphere. I'm pretty sure you could have gotten your answers in the Dirigible forum.
...only place helium and hydrogen wouldn't be so effective would be on gas giants - when the atmosphere is already primarily hydrogen its hard to get something heavy to lift above all that.
...oh and, of course, on airless planets too.

Not only that, Helium is incredibly rare on Mars (not that it's that common here on Earth). But without a flamable atmosphere, there's no reason not to use Hydrogen, whcih is more accessable.
He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.
