Facts you do not know about Mars(What do we know about the second smallest planet in the solar system)?

gravity

Since the gravity on the Red Planet is less than the 62.5 percent we used to land on, it means that there is no need for a diet to lose weight there. If your weight on the ground, for example, about 45 kg, gravity on the surface of Mars will distinguish only 17 kilograms of your weight

Mountains on the Red Planet
Great mountain

The neighbor of the outer Earth has the largest mountain in the solar system, a volcano whose scientists suspect activity 22 kilometers (about three times the Everest peak) and covering an area close to the Earth's surface in France.

Has Galilei discovered it?

It is not clear who was the first to discover the Red Planet, but available information indicates that Galileo astronaut Galileo watched the planet with a primitive telescope in 1609.

German space scientist Christian Higgins painted it using an advanced telescope in 1659.

Year in Mars

The Martian year corresponds to 687 days on Earth, while today on the Red Planet it is 40 minutes longer than the Earth Day.

The smallest "convergence distance" anticipated in 2287

This is not the first rapprochement. In 2003, the smallest distance between the two neighboring planets was 60,000 years ago, at 34.8 million miles, and we will see nothing like this, NASA reported, only in 2287.

The possibility of a previous life in the planet

The planet passed through an ice age that ended 400 thousand years ago, which did not prevent the possibility of life on the surface.

NASA is working on an ambitious program to establish a human colony on Mars by 2030, and talk about staying here on Mars, not just the trip, especially as the journey to the planet takes months.
