9. Mars has a meager air produced using 95.9% carbon dioxide and 2.7% nitrogen. The air is slim to such an extent that it's not thick to the point of catching the sun's hotness so it is freezing - going from - 100℃ in winter to 20℃ in summer.

10. Mars has exceptionally frail gravity. Gravity on Mars is 37% not exactly on Earth. This really intends that on Mars you could hop 3x higher than on Earth.

11. Mars is an earthbound planet since it has a hard and rough surface. Its northern side is brimming with level fields and the southern side has edges and pits.

12. Mars' surface has many channels, fields, and gullies which might have been brought about by water disintegration (water eroding the surface). This could be proof that untamed water in fluid structure once existed on a superficial level billions of years prior.

13. Mars encounters rough residue storms fueled by the sun which can keep going for a really long time. The residue tempests can totally cover the planet and constantly change Mars' surface.

14. Mars is home to Olympus Mons, a torpid well of lava and the biggest fountain of liquid magma and most elevated mountain in our nearby planet group. It is 16 miles high and 600 km across the base, making it 3x the tallness of Mount Everest.

16. Mars has the biggest gorge in our nearby planet group, Valles Marineris. It is 4 miles down and extends large number of miles long.

17. Mars has north and south poles like earth. The polar ice covers are shrouded in a layer of frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice).

18. As it's so near Earth, Mars is the planet that people will doubtlessly step foot on and investigate first.

19. We conveyed Mars Rovers (which are like robots) on missions to investigate Mars and gather tests and record logical information for researchers on Earth to review. A portion of these Rovers incorporate Viking 1, Viking 2, Mars 2, Mars 3, Spirit, Phoenix, Pathfinder, Curiosity, and Opportunity.

20. There is no proof of life on Mars. Nonetheless, it is the planet with the best circumstances to help life and researchers accept there is potential for life underneath defaces on the grounds that they as of late observed water ice simply on a deeper level.
