Planet Mars

Mars was not discovered by a single person as it has been known since ancient times. However, the planet has been studied extensively by astronomers and scientists throughout history.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are known as terrestrial planets because they are primarily composed of rock and metal. They are relatively small and have solid surfaces, unlike the gas giants in our solar system. They are also located closer to the Sun compared to the gas giants.

Venus is the planet that is most similar to Mars in terms of size and composition. Both planets have a similar rocky surface and a thin atmosphere. However, Venus has a much thicker atmosphere and is much closer to the Sun than Mars.

Mars does have some of the materials humans need to survive, such as water ice in the form of polar ice caps, subsurface ice, and possibly brine. However, other essential resources like breathable air and fertile soil would need to be generated or transported from Earth for sustained human habitation.

As planets do not have consciousness or the ability to communicate, they did not say anything to each other. However, in terms of planetary science, Mars and Jupiter are simply celestial bodies within our solar system that do not interact or communicate with each other directly.

Venus is visible most of the time if you know where to look. The only times it cannot be seen are when it's too close to the Sun, which happens for a short period (maybe a month) about every 9 months or so.

Olympus Mons is located on the planet Mars, which does not have tectonic boundaries like those on Earth. Instead, Olympus Mons is a large shield volcano that formed from volcanic activity, not tectonic movements.

Mars's atmosphere is composed of about 2.7% nitrogen.

Yes! although there are minor chances of life on Mars but still hope is there. according to scientists and pictures sent back by the Mars Rovers, there are clear signs that once water did did did flow on the surface of red planet. so if there was water,there may well be life still. somewhere deep into the Martian surface, Bacteria might still be active. there are a lot of research going on that and also NASA plans to send first manned mission to the 4th planet as late as 2033.

Probably a while because of the distance of Mars form the earth and how long it takes for radio waves and data to travel through space and be picked up by satellites.

Mars's atmosphere is much thinner than that of the Earth, too thin to protect the planet against too low temperature, asteroids, and solar radiation. The air pressure at ground level on Mars is less than 1% that of the Earth. The Martian atmosphere has 4 main parts, lower, middle, upper, and exosphere, and the atmosphere is composed of the following gases:

• carbon dioxide (95.32%)

• nitrogen (2.7%)

• argon (1.6%)

• oxygen (.13%)

• carbon monoxide (.07%)

• water vapor (.03%)

• nitric oxide (.0013%)

• trace gases

A day on Mars is approximately 24.6 hours long, while a year on Mars is equal to about 687 Earth days.

Mars has two known moons named Phobos and Deimos. Both moons are relatively small and irregularly shaped, with Phobos being the larger of the two.

Temperature � 233 K is known as Phobos temperature.

The temperatures of Phobos, one of the moons of Mars,range from about −4 °C (25 °F) to −112 °C (−170 °F), on the sunlit and shadowed sides respectively.

Mars has seasons just like Earth though they last about twice as long because the Martian year is almost twice that of Earth. Mars axial tilt is 25.2 degrees which is also very close to the 23.5 of Earth.

When a Martian hemisphere is experiencing summer, the polar cap shrinks back and may even disappear from view altogether. At the same time the darker regions grow darker and change slightly from year to year. It was once thought that these markings were vegetation, but we now know they are windblown dust.

When winter ensues, the polar cap of that hemisphere grows and may expand into the middle latitudes. The ice sheets of the polar caps are mainly carbon dioxide ice, but it is believed that there may be some water ice trapped underneath those sheets closest to the pole itself.

Generally Mars is quite cold with lows that reach -140 C (-220 F) but occasionally there are days that are quite balms reaching 20C (68 F.) Because soil and rock absorb heat from the Sun, the surface would be slightly warmer. Frost that forms during the night would melt and be released as water vapor during the day.

Neptune is colder than Mars. Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun and is much farther from it compared to Mars, which is the fourth planet from the sun. Neptune's average temperature is around -353°F (-214°C), while Mars's average temperature is around -80°F (-62°C).

Mars takes about 687 Earth days, or 1.88 Earth years, to orbit the Sun once.

Ares is the God of War for the Greeks where Mars is the same except for the Romans. The difference here is that Mars was more revered by the Romans, and Ares was more hated. Ares was the God of War, Murder, and Bloodshed. Mars was the God of War, Agriculture, and (I think) food. What I am trying to get at was that Mars is seen as a God of Life, while Ares is seen as a god of death. The Roman soldiers prayed to Mars to support them in battle and what not. Hope this helps!

It varies with each planet's position in its orbit. Mars is farther out from the Sun, and orbits more slowly than the Earth does.

At the "conjunction", when the two planets are closest together, they are about .5 AU apart. But 8 months later, when Earth has raced ahead and is now on the opposite side of the Sun from Mars, the distance is about 1.5 AU.

Phobos, after the Greek god of fear - son of Ares (mars) and Diemos is named after a figure representing dread in Greek mythology. Mars was named after the god of war.
They are named after the sons of Ares. Ares is the Greek name for the god the Romans called Mars.

Tornadoes and dust storms on Mars are similar to those on Earth, but they can be much larger and more intense due to the planet's thin atmosphere and strong winds. Tornadoes on Mars are largely made up of dust and are known as dust devils, while dust storms can cover vast areas and last for weeks or even months. These phenomena are common on Mars and have been observed by various spacecraft and rovers.

The mean distance of Mars to the Sun is about 228 million kilometers. However the martian orbit is quite eccentric which leads to a difference of nearly 42 million kilometers between the furthest and the closest distance distance from the Sun.

Mars, the forth planet, has the volcano Olympus Mons. This is the largest volcano or indeed mountain in our solar system.

Olympus Mons was formally discovered when probes first flew to Mars but astronomers on Earth knew the feature due to the way it reflected light. They originally named it Olympus Nix (snow) but suspected that it may well have been a mountain.

Mount Olympus (as its name translates to in English) is nearly 17miles high. This makes it 2 and a half times the size of Mauna Kea but 3 times the size of Everest (Mauna Key is the tallest mountain on Earth. Everest is the highest mountain).

Olympus Mons was formed by slow volcanic action over many, many years. As there are no tectonic plates on Mars any weak spots in the crust remain in the same place allowing the formation of enormous volcanic mountains.

Olympus is the same type of volcano as Mauna Key.

Due to the sheer vastness of Olympus Mons you would be unable to see the top of it whilst climbing the mountain nor from a distance. If you were to stand on the top of the mountain you would be unable to see the bottom because it is so vast that it would continue beyond the horizon.
