Mars



Mars
    Humans have already set foot on the Moon . Which planet will man’s next target be ? The answer is Mars . Its surface has volcanic craters and the plains (plateaus) are winding as though they are rivers .
    The characteristics of Mars include having a layer of atmosphere , temperature , period of rotation and changes of climate that are similar to that of Earth’s . This is why man have shown a keen interest in Mars . Actually Mars cannot support life and it will be strange for man to want to migrate there .
    Mars is a red planet and is the fourth planet from the Sun . Its diameter is 6791 km .  It takes 24 hours and 37 minutes to make one rotation about its own axis and 687 days to make one orbit around the Sun .
    The yellowish-red colour on the surface of Mars is due to the dust storms the blow for months .
