What planet has bigger mountain and deeper canyons than any other planet?
Mars has the largest volcano and the deepest canyon in the solar system. Olympus Mons is the tallest volcano, reaching about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high, and Valles Marineris is the longest and deepest canyon, stretching over 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) long and up to 7 miles (11 kilometers) deep.
How many planet are there that you actually consider planet?
In our solar system, there are eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
How long did it take Apollo 11 to get to mars?
Apollo 11 did not go to Mars; it was the mission that carried the first humans to land on the Moon in 1969. It took Apollo 11 approximately 3 days to travel from Earth to the Moon. Mars is a different planet, and no human mission has yet traveled there.
How big is mars compared to the earth?
Size can mean different things.Mars is just over half the diameter of Earth, and has only 11% as much mass.These are the most common "size" ratios (mars/earth):Mass: 0.107 (10.7%)Mars has 11% of the mass of Earth.Volume: 0.151 (15.1%)Mars has 15% of the volume of Earth.Mean Radius: 0.532 (53.2%)Mars has a radius about half the radius of Earth.The equatorial diameter of Mars is 6792 km (4220 miles).The equatorial diameter of Earth is 12756 km (7926 miles).
Where is Jupiter?
Jupiter is the Fifth planet from the sun. it is between Mars, the asteroid Belt, and Saturn. Its diamieter is 11 times bigger than earth. It has a great red spot. this spot is actually a storm swirling in Jupiter's atmosphere
Smaller of the two moons of Mars?
Phobos is the smaller of the two moons of Mars, with a mean radius of about 11 kilometers. It is closer to Mars than its counterpart Deimos and orbits the planet in just 7 hours and 39 minutes.
What planet has the highest mountains and deepest canyons in the solar system?
Mars has the highest mountains and the deepest canyons in the solar system. Olympus Mons, a shield volcano on Mars, stands about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high, making it the tallest volcano and mountain. Valles Marineris, a vast canyon system, stretches over 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) long and reaches depths of up to 7 miles (11 kilometers), surpassing any canyon found on Earth.
How many planet mars could you fit across the diameter of Jupiter?
Give that Jupiter's mean radius is 69,911 kilometers and Mars' radius is 3,396 km, you would be able to line up about 20 Mars across Jupiter. For comparison you could line up 11 Earths across Jupiter. In terms of volume you can fit 8,724 Mars and 1,321 Earths inside Jupiter.
What is the percentage of water on Mars?
The amount of water trapped in frozen layers over Mars' south polar region is equivalent to a liquid layer about 11 metres deep covering the planet. However a percentage of the area of water has not yet been calculated some estimates are 40%-50%. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/opportunity_evidence_040229.html
How big is Mars in diameter?
The "AU" ... astronomical unit ... is the average distance between the earth and sun,roughly 93 million miles.The diameter of the planet Mars is roughly 4,200 miles, or 0.0000452 AU.The semimajor axis of Mars' orbit is about 141.6 million miles, or about 1.52 AU.
How much ice is beneath mars surface?
It is estimated that there could be as much as 1.5 kilometers (0.93 miles) of ice beneath the surface of Mars, particularly in the polar regions. This ice is composed of a mixture of water ice and frozen carbon dioxide. Ongoing missions and research are continuously improving our understanding of the distribution and composition of ice on Mars.
