Similarities:
- rocky planets in elliptical orbits
- rotate at similar speed, day length is almost the same
- frozen poles (water on Earth CO2 on Mars)
- both have gaseous atmospheres
- both have oxygen and carbon dioxide
- both have seasons
- both have volcanic landforms
Differences:
- Mars is much smaller than Earth, 1/2 the diameter and 28% of the surface area
- The gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth: 100 lbs here is 38 lbs there
- Mars is farther from the Sun, and colder
- Mars has no liquid water on its surface
- The atmosphere on Mars is very much thinner than Earth, mostly carbon dioxide
- The oxygen on Mars exists as red oxidized ferrous minerals
- There is no evidence that Mars has ever had lifeforms
- Mars has no real magnetic field
