Brief Introduction of Mars

 

Introduction of Mars

Mars is the smallest planet in our solar system and it is larger than only Mercury. Mars is the fourth planet in our solar system from the sun and due to its surface which is mostly dry also called red planet while Earth is also called Blue Planet because 70% of the earth is covered with water. Now we are going to get more about the " Brief Introduction of Mars " with some the latest researches and under the eyes of scientists.

Few years ago, most of the scientists were thinking that the surface of the Mars was dry and covered with so many hard solids or mountains. They were suggested that there will be a canal system present on the surface of the Mars. Also they were thought that there will be no signal about life according to their researches or documentation which they were gathered by their many small instruments like telescope and others.

With the passage of time when scientists did more research and studied more about the Mars they were slightly changed their minds and their older views about mars environment.

But now the world is changing his mind about the Mars planet. They made advanced telescopes first and analyze the surface of Mars with deep dive to understand the surface of Mars and also its environment with the help of images that were captured with their telescopes.

After performing a lot of contribution and discussion from all over the world, scientists had decided that the current information about the Mars is not enough to understand the Mars surface and environment.

So they were decided to analyze the surface of Mars with more precisely and they started to make new instruments or machines like most advanced telescopes that were used to get more cleared or precise images with extremes distances. They also developed spacecraft’s that travelled from earth and land to the surface of Mars to take photos and to make videos of the mars environment with the latest technologies cameras.

All the collected data from the spacecraft’s were send back to the scientists present on the earth through a proper mechanism.

Now to get more details about Mars planet with their right facts and figures

Physical Characteristics of Mars

Mars has favorable position for viewing and when it is opposite to the sun it will twice as bright as Sirius, Sirius is a brightest Start.

Mars has diameter of 6800 Km which is half diameter of the earth and its mass only 11% of the earth mass

The mars planet has thin atmosphere having 95% carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere and 5% remaining other gases like nitrogen, oxygen (0.13%) and etc.

It has high temperature from day to night and according to the research there is 27C temperature at day time and 73C temperature from at the mid night.

There is a magnetic field around the Mars which protect it from harmful solar radiations coming from the sun or cosmic rays.

Mars is smaller than earth and it has low gravitational force than earth. The gravitational force of Mars is 3.711 m/s² while gravitational force of earth is 9.807 m/s².

Common Things between Earth and Mars

Both have Volcanoes

Both have Sea and ice lands

Both have four seasons like summer, winter, autumn and spring

Earth’s day length (23 hours and 56 minutes) while Mars’s day length (24 hours, 37 minutes)

Earth’s year length (365 days) while Mars’s year length (twice of earth’s year length or 687 days)

Why Mars is called Red Planet?

Most of the areas of Mars is dry, dull, consist of mountains and like vast areas of desert. Due to the presence of all these materials and mostly presence of iron on the Mars surface it will look like red or orange color and also called Red Planet.
