Mars can easily be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
ReplyDeleteMars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.
I knew that it was the fourth planet in the solar sistem and it was really small and it was red and was many rocks
I've learned that Curiosity is a motorized vehicle called a “rover” which is controlled by scientists back on Earth.
On Nov. 2, NASA scientists held a press conference to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars. I've learned that Curiosity is a motorized vehicle called a “rover” which is controlled by scientists back on Earth.
Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months.It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States, it is about the size of a car and has six wheels that allow it to travel across the planet’s surface and climb over sand and rocks.

Before i read this article i knew that once there was life on mars,and that it was a red planet.But after reading this article i found out how they got all of the information about Mars.All the information came from a robot dog named "Curiosity".Curiosity was sent to Mars by NASA it took Curiosity eight months to get to Mars.Curiosity was controlled by people back on Earth.Curiosity was able to tell the planets climate.Curiosity had a camera and was able to take picturs of the planet.Tamara Courtney Anderson 18/12/12

DeleteMars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often described as the "Red Planet", as the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance.[14] Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the second highest known mountain within the Solar System (the tallest on a planet), and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.[15][16] Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids, similar to 5261 Eureka, a Martian trojan asteroid.
ReplyDeleteUntil the first successful Mars flyby in 1965 by Mariner 4, many speculated about the presence of liquid water on the planet's surface. This was based on observed periodic variations in light and dark patches, particularly in the polar latitudes, which appeared to be seas and continents; long, dark striations were interpreted by some as irrigation channels for liquid water. These straight line features were later explained as optical illusions, though geological evidence gathered by unmanned missions suggest that Mars once had large-scale water coverage on its surface.[17] In 2005, radar data revealed the presence of large quantities of water ice at the poles[18] and at mid-latitudes.[19][20] The Mars rover Spirit sampled chemical compounds containing water molecules in March 2007. The Phoenix lander directly sampled water ice in shallow Martian soil on July 31, 2008.[21]
Mars is currently host to five functioning spacecraft: three in orbit—the Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter; and two on the surface—Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity and the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity. Defunct spacecraft on the surface include MER-A Spirit, and several other inert landers and rovers, both successful and unsuccessful, such as the Phoenix lander, which completed its mission in 2008. Observations by NASA's now-defunct Mars Global Surveyor show evidence that parts of the southern polar ice cap have been receding.[22] Observations by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed possible flowing water during the warmest months on Mars.[23]
Mars can easily be seen from Earth with the naked eye. Its apparent magnitude reaches −3.0,[7] which is surpassed only by Jupiter, Venus, the Moon, and the Sun. Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 300 km (186 miles) across when Earth and Mars are closest, because of Earth's atmosphere.[24]
