S e u o n g Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Mars is the fourth planet in terms of distance from the Sun, and the second smallest planet in the solar system. Also known as "The Red Planet" due to its reddish appearance, it is also the inner planet furthest from the Sun. Today we would like to tell you some curiosities about Mars that you may not know and that are very interesting. Current theories say that in order to find life on Mars, there must be water in a liquid state, and a NASA study determined that more than 4,000 years ago the planet had a vast ocean. It has never been confirmed but it is believed that at some point there was life on that planet, although it probably no longer remains. These are some curiosities about Mars that you do not know: He received his name as a tribute to the god of war in Roman mythology, Mars. Its surface has a reddish orange color because its usually contains particles of oxide or iron oxide. This is why it is known as "The Red Planet". At the south pole of Mars, a large lake of water has been discovered that increases the chances that there may be some kind of life, at least bacterial. Also at the south pole there is a pit so deep that it penetrates the ice and dust from the surface. NASA thinks it could be an impact crater or a collapsed well. This planet is over 4,600 billion years old. On Mars there is a strange natural phenomenon called araneiform terrain with which spider-shaped mounds form when the carbon dioxide ice that is under the surface heats up and is released. It is the only planet that has been known so far in which it has been proven that only robots inhabit. It is believed that it had a large ocean whose water evaporated over time. The first image of Mars was made with colored pencils. The last of the curiosities about Mars is that its sunsets are blue due to the dust in the atmosphere. Without a doubt it would be an incredible picture to be able to enjoy any of them.
