Informative facts related to Mars

 1. The Greeks call Mars Ares (Ares) and consider it the god of war. This name is given to Mars, probably because of the red color.

 2. It looks red due to rusting of iron minerals in the soil of Mars.

 3. Mars's orbit around the Sun is longitudinal (oval). Due to this, there is a difference of 30 ° C in the temperature of Mars between the farthest point from the Sun and the nearest point.

 4. According to the information given by the Yano sent on Mars, the surface of Mars is very old and filled with craters. But there are also some new valleys, hills and plateaus. (A crater is a round or almost round shaped pit on an astronomical object.)

 5. Clear evidence has been found about the flow of a liquid object on the surface of Mars. Fluid water is more likely than other fluids. It is clear from the data given by the ships sent on Mars that there must have been large lakes or seas on Mars.

 6. The largest mountain in the solar system is on Mars itself. It is named Olympus Mons and is 24 kilometers high.

 7. The average temperature of Mars is -55 degree Celsius. Its surface temperature varies from 27 ° C to 133 ° C.

 8. The diameter of Mars is about half the diameter of Earth but the land available on Mars is equal to the land available on Earth.

 9. One day of Mars is a little more than 24 hours. One year of Mars is equal to 687 days of Earth, i.e. about 23 months.

 10. At the pole of Mars, there is a layer of ice of water and carbon dioxide. In the summer of the Northern Hemisphere, the carbon dioxide layer is melted and only the ice layer of water remains. Mars Express, circling in the orbit of Mars, has also seen it happening in the southern Golartha. There is a possibility of water ice in other places of Mars.

 11. Just like our Earth's satellite is the moon, similarly Mars also has two satellites - Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is larger in size than Deimos.

 12. If a person weighs 100 kg on Earth, due to low gravity on Mars, only 37 kg will be left. The gravity of Mars' satellite Phobos is only one thousandth of the Earth's gravity. A person weighing 100 kilos on Earth will weigh only 100 grams on Phobos.

 13. Phobos is the shortest satellite in the entire solar system from its planet. Its distance from the surface of Mars is only 6000 kilometers while the distance between our Earth and the moon is about 3 lakh 84 thousand kilometers.

 14. Although Phobos is larger than the second Mars satellite, Deimos, it is still counted among the smallest satellites in the Solar System. The average diameter of Phobos is 22.2 km and that of Dimos is only 12.6 km.

 15. The Greeks consider Phobos to be the son of the planet Venus. Phobos in Greek means 'fear'. The word phobia is derived from phobos. The Greeks consider this satellite to be the 'god of fear'.

 16. The Phobos satellite rises in the sky of Mars twice a day.

 17. Phobos rises to 1.8 meters of Mars every 100 years. For this reason, in the next 5 crore years, it will hit the surface of Mars or it will break and disintegrate around Mars.

 18. There is a large crater steakney on the surface of Phobos named after its inventor, the recent wife.

 19. Both these satellites of Mangal Graha can perhaps be used as a space station for traveling to Mars at any time.

 20. At present, 8 expeditions are working to know the secret of Mars. 7 of these are by the US. It is a matter of pride that one of the remaining campaigns is by India.
