Mars
About Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. It is also known as the "Red Planet", for its orange-red appearance. Mars is a desert-like rocky planet with a tenuous atmosphere that is primarily carbon dioxide. At the average surface level the atmospheric pressure is a few thousandths of Earth's, atmospheric temperature ranges from −153 to 20 °C, and cosmic radiation is high. Mars retains some water, in the ground as well as thinly in the atmosphere, forming cirrus clouds, fog, frost, larger polar regions of permafrost and ice caps, but no bodies of liquid surface water. Its surface gravity is roughly a third of Earth's or double that of the Moon. Its diameter, 6,779 km (4,212 mi), is about half the Earth's, or twice the Moon's, and its surface area is the size of all the dry land of Earth.

It was built because they knew that there were indentations on Mars and they wanted to establish whether or not they were made by Martians. Were they Martian canals or were they just naturally formed? We're still not sure, but we suspect Martians.

It's only about the size of a golf ball.

Evidence was that um we've never found the Garden of Eden and no one's ever been to the north pole it was circumstantial it feels like that makes sense it must be that wasn't there a bishop who said it was on Mars as well to really yeah yeah ages ago we've never been to Mars and we've never been to Mars and still haven't very good point James so that was more sensible because you know longer term thinking the whole north pole thing.

Is pretty much the exact perfect one if you want to jump as high as you possibly can because if the gravity was any less there, then you would just float away, but you can just about not. Do you know the story of how Mars's moons were discovered? No. Because it's quite, so they were discovered by a guy called Asaf Hall, which is a very weird name, but this was in 1876, and he really thought that Mars probably had a couple of moons, which it does, or some moons.
