You would weigh less on Mars! If humans ever set foot on Mars they would feel much lighter. The Red Planet is smaller than Earth and has less surface gravity than the planet we call home. On Mars you'd experience 62.5% less gravity than you’re used to on Earth, so if you weighed 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh only 38lbs on Mars. Our neighbouring planet’s Olympus Mons is a shield volcano that is three times the height of Mount Everest. It has a height of nearly 72168 feet and a diameter of 1,969,000,000 feet! It nearly occupies the same amount of area as mainland France, while scientists believe it may be still be active. A year on Mars: A Martian year is the equivalent of 687 Earth days –while a day on the Red Planet only lasts 40 minutes more than one on Earth. In September, scientists found evidence of briny water flowing on Mars during summertime on the Red Planet. NASA wants to put a colony of humans on Mars in the year 2030. When they go, they won't be coming back. They will work and learn lots of things to communicate with us on Earth.
I know this is a lot of facts, but I figured you could take a break, have some pumpkin pie and come back to view some more.... Have a most wonderful Thanksgiving Break! See you soon!

Mrs. TaylorI love science! Everything about the world is interesting and never boring. I love to study plants, animals, insects, and people. My favorite subjects are my students who are the most unique organisms on the planet! Categories |
