Mission to Mars
Why we should go to mars?
We should go to Mars because with earths population projected to hit more than 9 billion by 2075, they'll need extra space. Compared with other planets in our solar system, Mars is downright welcoming (the surface of Venus, for instance, is more than 800 degrees), in part because of its closeness to Earth. Mars even has frozen water on its surface.
Hellas Planitia
A huge depression, or impact crater, in the southern Hemisphere. It's 6 km deep and 2,000 km in diameter. The theory is that it was created when an asteroid collided with Mars 3 billion years ago.
MOVING TO MARS !
Olympus Mons
this is the largest volcano in the solar system that stands 24 km high and is rimmed by a cliff 6 km high. It would cover New Mexico on Earth and is 3 times taller than our tallest mountain, Mount Everest.
Valles Marineris
A series of canyons that stretch 4,000 km (2,500 miles ) which is from New York to Los Angeles on Earth. It's 2-7 km deep which is 3 times deeper than the Grand Canyon.
Tharsis
A giant bulge on Mars' surface that is 4,000 km across and about 10 km high.
Day and night
one similarity between Earth and Mars is the Rotation time is 24 hours or very close to that. (24.6 mars) Another similarity between Earth and Mars is the day and night patterns.
Seasons
One similarity between Earth and Mars is the Axial tilt. The Axial tilt on Earth is 23.5 degrees, and the tilt on Mars is 25 degrees. Another similarity is the length of a year. The length of a year on Earth is 1 year, and the length of a year on Mars is 1.88 years.
Phases of the moon
one difference between Earth and Mars is Earth has one moon and Mars has two moons. Another difference between Earth and Mars is Earth's moon orbits slowly (27-29 days) and Mars' moons orbits quickly, Phobos, ( Mars moon) orbits Mars 3 times a day and Deimos ( another moon) orbits Mars every 30 hours.
Eclipses
One difference between Earth and Mars is that Earth has Solar eclipses Mars does not because the moons are too small to block the sun. Another difference between Earth and Mars is that lunar eclipses are more common on Mars than Earth because there are two moons and they orbit Mars very fast
