Mars, known as the Red Planet, has very diverse terrain. One of its most famous features are the huge canyons on its surface, which were most likely formed by the planetâ??s crust splitting.
Mars
Yes, Mars has many mountains and canyons. Check out Valles Marineris, a huge canyon on the planets surface, with many smaller canyons and valleys around it.
The planet you are referring to is Jupiter.
No. Uranus is a gas planet. It does not have a solid surface.
This mostly happened due to many meteorites and comets bombarding the surface of the planet.
Yes. In fact, the planet Mars has about 2,500 miles of canyons; the name for this system is "Valles Marineris."
Presently the largest canyon system discovered so far is on Mars and is called Valles Marineris, it extends over 3,000 kilometers long, spans as much as 600 kilometers across, and delves as much as 8 kilometers deep
The Grand Canyon.
Earth's oceans cover about 70% of the planet's surface.
Mars Valles Marineris is the largest canyon found in our Solar System. Located in the Southwestern Hemisphere of Mars, the canyon stretches 2,500 mi (4,000 km) across the Martian surface and covers approximately one fifth of the planet's circumference. This canyon is also 400 mi (650 km) wide at places and have depths of over 3.8 mi (6.1 km) deep.
The red color of the planet comes from this equation. 2Fe + O2 --> 2FeO The oxygen of Mars is mostly trapped on the surface with sufficient iron, so the surface is rusting and that is where the planet's red color comes from.
A special feature of the planet Jupiter is the huge hurricane on its surface that is known as the Great Red Spot. It is also the largest planet in our solar system.
