Mars (planet)

Mars is the fourth-smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury, the fourth from the Sun. The planet is named after a Hindu planetary deity in various Indian languages, including Bengali. The English name "Mars" comes from the name of the god of war in Roman mythology, Mars. An excess of iron oxide on the planet's surface makes the planet reddish, which makes it uniquely visible to the naked eye in cosmic objects. [14] The planet is also known as the "Red Planet". [15] [18] . The planet's atmosphere is dense, and its surface features include moon-like impact bays, as well as Earth-like valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps. The planet Mars can be seen with the naked eye from the earth. It is easily recognizable because of the reddish color of this planet. The apparent magnitude of Mars increases to a maximum of 72.94 [10], which is lower than that of Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and the Sun alone. Earth and marks Since the rotation of Earth and Mars is almost the same with respect to the period of rotation and the tropics, the day-night periods and seasons of the two planets are similar to Earth's. Olympus Mons, the second-highest mountain in the solar system, and Wales Marinaris, one of the largest deep ravines, are located on Mars. The smooth Borealis Basin of the Northern Hemisphere occupies 40% of the planet's surface. The basin may have been formed as a result of a large-scale collision. [17] [18] Mars has two natural satellites. These are called Phobos and Dimos. This The two satellites are very small and irregular in size. These two Mars Trojans are probably two asteroids stuck in the gravitational pull of Mars, like the 5261 Eureka. [19] [20]

In the past, the planet Mars was habitable, as well as the existence of life on the planet is currently being investigated. Several astronomical missions are planned for the future, including Mars 2010 and Exomers rovers. [21] [22] [23] [24] The existence of liquid water on the surface of Mars is unlikely. This is because the planet's atmospheric pressure is very low, only 1% of the Earth's atmospheric pressure. [25] The lowest elevations only increase for a short time. [26] [26] [29] The amount of water ice in the South Pole ice sheet is so large that if that ice melts, the entire planet's surface will sink to a depth of 11 meters (36 ft). [30] . The approximate amount of water that has been identified is equal to the total amount of water in Lake Superior. [31] [32] [33] When closest to each other, light telescopes located on the Earth's chest can cross the Earth's atmosphere and observe 300 km (190 mi) or more of the perimeter of Mars. [34]
