Planet Measurements
• Mass: 6.4169 x 10^23 kg
• Volume: 1.63116 x 10^11 km^3
• Density: 3.934 g/cm^3
• Sink in Water: density > than water’s (water’s density=1 g/cm^3
• Gravity: 3.71 m/s^s
Atmosphere
Consists of…
• Carbon Dioxide
• Nitrogen
• Argon
Thin atmosphere (not a lot of atmosphere)
Distances
• Order from the sun: 4
• Distance from the sun: 227388763.45km
• Distance from Earth: 77790892.76km
Orbit and Rotation
• One year (orbit sun): 1.9 earth years
• One day (rotate on axis once): 1.026 earth days; 24.623 hours
Temperature
• Average: -55 degrees Celsius; -67 degrees Celsius
• Average on Earth: -88 low; 58 max (degrees Celsius)
• Average in Florida: 26 degrees Celsius
Appearance
• Rocky Planet (inner planet)
• Dry like a desert
Altered by
• volcanoes
• impacts
• crustal movement
• atmosphere effect
Composition
• No one knows what Mars is made of
• Scientists has a mission
• InSight: mission to figure out what is in the interior of mars
Water
• Martian atmosphere is too thin
• (To have liquid water for a long time)
• Water-ice is found under the surface
• (Polar regions)
Weather
• Seasons = last twice as long as Earth’s
• Spring(north)+Fall(south)=longest
• Fall(north)+Spring(south)=shortest
• High: 70 degrees Fahrenheit
• Low: -225 degrees Fahrenheit
Moons
• 2 moons
• Found by Asaph Hall
• Named by the sons of Ares (Ares=mars)
• Phobos: 1887(6 days after), crater (10 km wide) called Stickney,
mean fear in Greek
• Deimos: 1887, means flight, large amount of craters
What would happen if a human traveled to your planet?
• It is a really thin atmosphere
• There is no protection from the sun’s rays
• People can’t breathe because there is no oxygen
Fun Facts
• More than 40 spacecrafts
• 1st success: 1965=Mariner 4
• Insight: INterior Exploration Using Seismis Investigations,
Geodesy and Heat Transport
• Mission: to find out what is in Martian interior and Earth’s
evolutionary formation
