21/5/15 2015 T2: My Mars Information Report!

Our Mysterious Neighbor

Introduction

There is a tiny star that we can see in space that looks kind of red. And that tiny star is actually a planet called Mars. I if you want to know more well then this information report is all to you to read!.

Appearance:

Mars is called the ‘Red planet’ because of its colour. It has old volcanoes and big rocks because they were caused by asteroids and meteoroids. Interestingly, no one has actually seen if Mars is a cold dark planet or a hot bright planet. But to us Mars looks like a hot bright planet.

This is a picture of the dust storms that Mars has.

Could Humans live on Mars?:

Lots of humans think that they could possibly live or stand on Mars, but they can not because Mars has no oxygen but maybe a little bit. Amazingly, Mars has hazards on its own planet. E.G Dust

Storms, Volcanoes erupting, and many more.

Mars’ Orbit:

How long does it take for Mars to revolve on its own axis?, Mars takes 24 hours and 37 minutes. Also Mars is 225,300,000 km away from Earth (Us) so that means Mars is our neighbor which we already know. Now you know how long it takes Mars to turn on its own axis and also how far Mars is from Earth.

This is a picture of Mars’ Orbit and what it looks like.

Mars’ Moon:

Mars has only two moons (Phobos & Deimos). The largest moon between Phobos & Deimos is Phobos. Phobos is a grey lumpy moon & Deimos is a grey and brown lumpy moon. As you can see, Mars’ moons are pretty similar in weird ways.

This is a picture of what Phobos & Deimos (Mars’ Moon) looks like
