Hola Como Estas, Amazing Readers
Today I’m going to be making an online blog post about Mars.
This blog activity was given to me by one of my Teachers for reading and my reading
group is called The Social Distancers well here is my work
Should We Move To Mars?
Do I want to move to Mars? No, I don’t think we should move to Mars because there is 0.13 percent of
oxygen on Mars compared to the Earth with 21 percent of oxygen on it. Mars also has up to 95 percent of carbon dioxide. I also don’t want to move to Mars because you can only live there from up to around 2
minutes or so before your organs ruptured. Here is a true fact, Difficulties and hazards include radiation
exposure during a trip to Marsand on its surface, toxic soil, low gravity, the isolation that accompanies Mars' distance from Earth, a lack
of water, and cold temperatures. In Mars there have been 40 missions to Mars, but only 18 missions have
been successful, so there would be a 40 percent chance we could not survive going to Mars
Did you know that the distance from the Sun to Mars is 141.6 million mi. The radius for Mars is 3,389.5
km or 2,106 mi. Did you know that the polar diameter of Mars is 6,752 km and the surface pressure of
Mars is -153 to 20°C. Have you ever wondered if other planets have a moon??? Well really Mars has two. One of them iscalled
Phobos and the other one is called Deimos. Those are the 2 moons for Mars.
Have you ever wondered where Mars got its name from? Well obviously Mars did not get its name from
the chocolate Mars because the planet Mars was there before the chocolate Mars because the chocolate
Mars was made in 1911 and the planet was made about 4.5 billion years ago. Well the real reason why
Mars got its name is because It has a distinctive red colour and was therefore associated with battles and
war and named after the Roman god of war.
The surface of Mars is a reddish-brown colour due to the rusting process of the surface minerals.
Another name for Mars is “The Red Planet.” Other civilizations throughout history have also named the
planet due to its colour. The Ancient Egyptians called Mars “Her Desher,” which translates to “the red one.”
Today we often call Mars the “Red Planet” due to the iron minerals on the surface. It’s the iron in the
Martian dirt that has oxidized or rusted that causes it to look red.
Here are some facts about Mars that I found and read about.
“ Mars is only half of Earth’s diameter and its surface has many appearances as the dry land on Earth.
Mars has volcanoes, crust movement, impact craters, and atmospheric conditions such as dust storms
that, over the years, has changed the landscape. Valles Marineris is a large canyon system on Mars
whose length is long enough to stretch from New York to California on Earth; with a distance of over 3,000
mi/4,800 km.” Mars also has the solar system’s largest volcano, Olympus Mons. The volcano is three
times taller than Mt. Everest on Earth and has a base that is the size of the state of New Mexico. Thanks
to the incredible Mars rovers, we believe that Mars had water on its surface in the past. The temperature
on Mars never goes any higher than 20 degrees C. The temperature differences are due to the density of
the two atmospheres.The atmosphere on Mars is very thin while there is a thick atmosphere on Venus.
Scientists have done a lot of research on Mars and they also think that the atmosphere may have caused
the loss of any liquid water that was once on the planet.
Orbiting spacecraft has shown that Mars does have frozen water in its polar caps and there is some
evidence that indicates that there might be liquid water under Mars’ surface.
Scientists think that at one time in its history, Mars might have had a good enough atmosphere to have
water on the surface.
Thank you for Reading my blog. Please comment and have an amazing day.
