Howdy!

Allow us me to introduce you to the

fourth

planet from the sun!

Meet

Mars!

Mars is named after the Roman god of war!

Sometimes humans call Mars the

red planet.

Iron oxide in the planet’s rocks and soil give Mars a

reddish color.

Mars is

smaller

than earth.

It has a

thin

atmosphere.

The surface of the planet is

cold

and

dry

and

dusty.

All Mars’s water is frozen into

polar ice caps.

The planet has two small

moons:

Phobos

and

[Phobos]

Unlike Earth’s round, silver moon

Mars’s moons look a little like

funky potatoes.

Mar’s is also home to the tallest

volcano

in the solar system!

Humans know more about Mars than any other planet!

Human scientists have even sent robots called

rovers

to explore the red planet.

These rovers have found evidence that Mars’s surface was once very different!

Billions of years ago, Mars had a

warmer climate.

it had a thicker

atmosphere

and

liquid water.

Mars may have even been home to

ancient life!

But scientists think any life was probably

microbial.

As far as we know, there’s no life on Mars today.

At least not yet!

Humans dream of sending

spaceships

to Mars

and maybe even building a

colony

there one day!

Someday soon,

YOU

could be a

Martian!

But for now, Mars is just a

reddish glow

in the evening sky.
