The highest mountain on Mars is also the highest mountain in the entire solar system.It is a volcano. It is called Olympus Mons and is 16 miles (24 kilometers) high which is about three times higher than Mt. Everest. In addition to being very tall, it is also very wide (340 miles or 550 kilometers).Olympus Mons is a very flat mountain which slopes by only 2 to 5 degrees. It is a shield volcano built up by eruptions of lava.

Mars is a rocky planet and it’s red. Its size is 6,787 km or 4,217 miles in diameter. It’s the 4th planet from the Sun. It takes 687 days to rotate once around the Sun. The length of day on Mars is 24 hours and 37 minutes. The gravitational strength compared to earth is; if a person weighs 32 kg on Earth, the person would weigh 12kg on Mars. The planet has 2 moons. The temperature on Mars is -63 degrees Celsius on average.
Mars look red from the rusty iron dust on its surface. There was probably once water on Mars, which created river beds and canal formations. Now all of that water is frozen beneath the ground or at the polar ice caps.

Mars is about 4.6 million years old.

Mars is named after the Roman god of war..

The surface of Mars has a reddish color because of the iron oxide or particles in it.

No one discovered Mars because it was one of the 5 planets that could be seen in the night sky.

Mars has only a third of earth's gravity.

The Atmosphere from mars is made of 95.32 percent of carbon dioxide,2.7 percent of nitrogen,1.6 percent of argon,0.13 perent of oxygen,0.08 carbon monoxide,miner amounts of water,nitrogen oxide,neon,hydrogen-deuterium-oxygen,krypton and xenon

1 The first spacecraft to land on Mars in the 1970s.


2 There is more than 1 moon on Mars(there are 2 moons!)

3 Scientists are discovering if there is water in Mars and they are searching for liquid water or else we can't drink that water.

4 The highest mountain on Mars is also the highest mountain and volcano in the entire solar system. It is called Olympus.

5 Mars has a diameter of 4,222 miles (6,794 km) which makes it a little more than half (about 53%) the diameter of Earth.

Mars
1. millions of years ago the atmosphere was thicker and warmer on mars rain fell and rivers flowed.

2. Mars is home to the largest mountain in the solar system the Olympus Mons mountain

3. the red colour is caused by iron oxides (rust) in rocks on Mars surface

4.Mars was named after a roman god of war

5. Its diameter is 6794km

6. the day is only half an hour longer than ours

7.Mars also has seasons, an atmosphere and ice caps at the poles

8.Its atmosphere is very thin and mainly contains carbon dioxide

1. The highest mountain on Mars, Olympus Mons, is is 16 miles high.

2.Mars has 2 moons. They are called Phobos and Deimos. Their names means fear and panic Latin.

3.The surface of Mars look reddish as its soil has iron oxide or rust particles in it.

4.Mars in 4.6 billion years old.

5.Dust storms on Mars can be fierce enough to to cover the entire planet in a dusty haze for weeks.

Mars has a Diameter of 6,794 km.

Mars is 4.6 billion years old.

The highest mountain on mars and in thhe universe is Olympus Mons and it is 16 miles.

Mars has two moons called Phobos and Deimos.

No one discovered Mars, beacause Mars was easily seen beacause of it's reddish colour.

Comment By Callum 5B 

1. The temperature on Mars ranges between -87 and -5 degrees. It is very cold!
2. There is water on Mars but it is frozen under polar ice caps.
3. Mars rotates at almost the same speed as Earth. A day on Mars is 24.62hours (Earth day is 23.934hours).
4. Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos. The names mean fear and panic in Latin.
5. Mars looks red because the soil has iron oxide (rust) particles in it.

Mars
Mars is the fourth planet in our solar system after the Earth . Some people call Mars the red planet because of the color of it soil. Mars has the biggest mountain in our solar system it is called Olympus Mons 16 miles high (24 kilometers)
it is 3 times than the mont Everest !!! Mars diameter is 6,794 kilometers ( smaller than the Earth not from far). Scientist think that Mars may had live a long time ago but still if the Earth explose we could go and live on Mars ( most likely or else wich other planet ?). Mars have a little bit of good atmosphere and we may find frozen water on Mars ,because it really cold up there !!!

I spent my nights starring at the stars. It was my favorite thing to do. One night I saw redish brown star or was it a planet? I had read that what I was looking at was the planet Mars. Mars was one of the few planets you could see from earth. Suddenly I felt myself being pulled from my room, through the window and through the atmosphere. Seven months later I landed on Mars. I knew it was Mars because the ground was a rusty color and the sky was pink. I couldn't breathe without a special oxygen mask that I found in my back pocket. I remembered reading that Mars was as old as the solar system and half the size of Earth. I started to feel scared. How was I going to get home? Then I saw a rocket ship. I jumped on board. Now I could get home, but then I noticed there was no mor fuel in the tank. I was going to crash! Then I woke up....I was in my bed! What!? It was all a dream! No more space adventure stories before bed for me!! The end!

Mars's cold thin atmosphere means that liquid water cannot currently exist for a long period of time. Mars and Earth have the same amount of deserts. Mars is over 4.6 billion years old, it also has the biggest mountain in the Solar System. Olympus Mons is roughly 17 miles (27 kilometers) high, about three times as tall as Mount Everest. Mars has 2 moons, it is -63 degrees Celsius average.

Mars was formed 4.6 billion years ago. Mars was formed by little objects in the solar system that came together. That tok 100,000 years. Mars grew as the force of gravity pulled in more objects. The heat was caused by objects imact and that created the different layers. gases were released while mars cooled down, and that created the atmosphere. Mars is tilted 25.19 degrees and earth is tilted 26.27 degrees so that means that mars also has seasons. The averagee tempurature is -80 degrees celcius. Near the poles at winter it can be about -125 degrees celcius. It can be about 20 degrees celciu at the afternoon near the equater. The biggest moutain in our solar system is in mars. Its name is Olumpus Mons it is 17 miles tall(27km) it is 3 times bigger than mout everest. It is 370 miles wide(600km) wide. The bright colour of mars is know foriron and rich minerals and the loose dust and rock covering the surface.

In 2004 NASA send a rover to Mars to take pictures and find information about the planet such as, is there life on mars, how dose mars look like etc.

The highest mountain in our Solar System is on mars its name is Olympus Mons it is 16miles high or 24 kilometers (Three times taller than Mt.Everest) its diameter is 340mies long same as 550 Kilometers!

Mars is 4.6 billon years old! Mars has two moons unlike Earth’s, Earth only has on moon but guess what Jupiter has 63 moons that’s a lot!
