Time It Takes Surface Of Mars
1,058 wordsMars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 228 million-km (141 million miles) and the last terrestrial planet from the sun. The next five planets in order from the sun are gaseous. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth and about one-tenth of Earth s mass. Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Though it is much smaller, Mars does have the same surface land area as Earth. Other than Earth, Mars po...

Surface Of Mars Carbon Dioxide
508 wordsMars is the Mars Mars Mars is the fourth planet from our Sun, and the last of the inner planets. We live on the third, orbiting the Sun at a distance that maintains water oceans and conditions that have supported life for around four billion years. Mars is about half the size of Earth and has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Its surface is red due to the oxidation of iron in the soil. The Martian atmosphere is 100 times less dense than that of Earth and primarily made up of carbon dioxide. Although...
