Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, is commonly referred to as the red planet due to it's reddish appearance from Earth. The planet is named after the Roman God of war, Mars.It is the seventh largest planet in our solar system.The yellow-orange colour of the Matian surface

is due to the presence of oxidized iron in the regolith.The pink-orange colour of the sky is used by extremely fine red dust that is the thin atmosphere of Mars.

Mars is 4220 miles (6791 km) in diameter (Earth - 7926 miles). It has one-tenth the mass of Earth, being less dense, however, its surface area is only slightly less than the total area of Earth's dry land. Gravity is 0.38 that of Earth, which means that if you weigh 100 pounds or kg on Earth, you would weigh 38 pounds or kg on Mars.



Mars has the largest canyon in the solar system. It would reach from Los Angeles to Chicago if it was on Earth! Mars has a very thin atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, but dust storms cancover the whole planet for months at a time. About every two years the Earth and Mars come close together. The planet has two moons, Deimos and Phobos.




 * Deimos

||

Deimos [DEE-mos] (panic) is a moon of Mars and was named after an attendant of the Roman war god Mars. Deimos is a dark body that appears to be composed of-type surface materials. It is similar to the C-type (blackish carbonaceous chondrite) asteroids that exist in the outer asteroid belt. Some scientists speculate that Deimos and Phobos (the other martian moon), are captured asteroids; however, other scientists present arguments counter to this theory. Both Deimos and Phobos are saturated with craters. Deimos has a smoother appearance caused by partial filling of some of its craters.

 * Phobos

Phobos is the larger of Mars' two moons and is 27 by 22 by 18 km in diameter. It orbits Mars three times a day, and is so close to the planet's surface that in some locations on Mars it cannot always be seen. Phobos is nearing Mars at a rate of 1.8 m every hundred years; at that rate, it will either crash into Mars in 50 million years or break up into a ring. Its most prominent feature is the 6-mile crater Stickney, its impact causing streak patterns across the moon's surface. Stickney was seen by Mars Global Surveyor to be filled with fine dust, with evidence of boulders sliding down its sloped surface.
