Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System. The reddish appearance of Mars’ surface is caused by iron oxide.

While the Mars is about half as big as the Earth, there are still many similarities: Mars has a rocky surface and polar ice caps, the days on Mars are only 40 minutes longer, the axial tilt gives it similar seasons to ours (although each lasts about twice as long).

Mars has a dramatic landscape, with towering volcanoes and a great canyon system. Of all the planets in the Solar System, it has the highest mountain, Olympus Mons, and the largest canyon, Valles Marineris.
There is strong evidence that the Martian atmosphere was once far denser than it is now, and that water once ran freely on its surface. There is also mounting evidence that much of this water remains locked away underground.

Mars has two small natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos, that orbit very close to the planet. These moons may be captured asteroids. It has been predicted that in about 50 million years, Phobos will either crash into Mars’ surface or break up into a ring structure around the planet.

Mars is the focus of intense study, with two rovers (exploration rover Opportunity and science laboratory Curiosity) operating on the surface, while three international missions orbit the planet: NASA’s Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and ESA’s Mars Express.
Mars can easily be seen from Earth with the naked eye, as can its reddish coloring. Its apparent magnitude is surpassed by the Sun, the Moon, Venus and Jupiter – but it can briefly match Jupiter’s brightness at certain points in its orbit.

The outer crust is rich in silicon, oxygen, iron, magnesium, aluminum, calcium, and potassium, all of which could be used in the development of future human outposts on Mars.

Silicate mantle was once very active, giving rise to many of the planet’s distinctive surface features, but which now appears to be dormant.
Like Earth, Mars has undergone differentiation, resulting in a dense core primarily comprising iron and nickel, but with around 17% sulfur, which renders the core partially liquid.

  3. Always a great presentation, thank you kindly !!! The subtle softness of a delicate landscape… contrasted by the harshness of severe impact angles… and all of the various textures in between. And…The sunrise segment was a gem in itself !!!
    I have watched all of your videos of Mars, and, although I may not comment each time… they are always impressive and enjoyable. Please continue your great work !!

  5. I believe that Mars formed, or began to form much like Earth, but never was completed. A burned out, spinning hot fragment that eventually cooled. Most of the planets we see in our solar system are still very much alive.

  13. Mars was like Earth . I mean just like as in plants animals bugs and "humans". Curiosity sol 1065 proves it. In order to have a being such as ourselves you need all the lifeforms before it. In the near future what I am telling you will be a known fact.

  14. Carbon dioxide atmosphere.
    100 degree daily temperature 🌡️ swings everyday never before seen by human beings.
    Wind storms that last week's.
    A lifetime of radiation in 1 day.
    The only safety is underground. How do you get a backhoe to mars. In order to make it from one orbit to another you have a very short window if you missed that window you are probably dead. All systems have to work perfectly every single second. What fuel will you use for the return trip and will you make that Target window. We don't know that Tara farming is even possible and if it was it would probably take centuries. And so many perplexing issues that must be solved. We're not going anywhere this planet is 🏠 🌍 we need to do better as human beings we need to do better before than ever in the history of our race we kill each other why why can't we work together to make this planet Earth as best we can while we have it .🌎 We're all here today and gone tomorrow we can do better

  17. The images taken by the Rover seems the MARS most recently a destruction faced with other planets or close to the sun which results the entire water might be evaporated and became desert look and further the CO2 is 95%
    volcano- is there any symptoms?

  24. Great Video as always. There are a couple of Interesting objects just below mid-frame and above mid-frame circular one a yellow colour and another a darker colour just above and to the left of the yellow object at 31/50. A closer look would be good for clarification and interest. Thank you
