Fact 2:it is 228 km away from the sun (50% farther than the earth from the sun
Fact 3: it is the fourth planet from the sun and the last terrestrial planet.
Fact 4: It is about four thousand miles wide (half the diameter of earth)
Fact 5: its much lighter than earth with only 1/10 of it mass or 6.4169 x 10^23 kg
Fact 6:Mars has 37.5% of the gravity that Earth has. This means that a 100 lb. object on earth would only weigh 38 lb.
Fact 7: mars’ seasons are twice as long as those on earth because it takes mars 687 days to orbit the sun twice as long as earth.
Fact 8: it rotates on it axis every 24 hr. and 37 min about the same as earth
Fact 9: Mars lacks an ozone layer therefore the surface of mars is bathe in lethal dose of radiation every time the sun rises

Fact 19:Phobos orbits remarkably close to Mars and is gradually sinking into the red planet. In about 50 million years it will either crash into mars or break up and form a small ring around the planet
Fact 20:There is no fact 20 either
Fact 21: Mars has the highest peak in our solar system : Olympus mons. It is 15 miles high( three times higher than Mt. Everest) and has a diameter of 375 miles ( the size of Arizona)
Fact 22: Mars contains the largest labyrinth of intersecting canyons in the solar system called the Noctis Labyrinths
Fact 23:Mars is home to Hellas, a vast featureless plain that covers 1300 miles. It was created be asteroids crashing into the planet’s surface of Mars nearly 4 billion years ago
Fact 24: Mars has an enormous canyon named Valles Marineris which is 2500 miles wide and four miles deep
Fact 25:Viking 1 was the first of two spacecraft sent to Mars as part of NASA's Viking program. It was the first spacecraft to successfully land on Mars and perform its mission.
Fact 26: There is the Viking orbiter and Viking lander
Fact 27: There is the Viking orbiter and Viking lander
Fact 28: in 1976, Viking 1 photographed a mesa on Mars that had the appearance of a face
Fact 29: no human could survive the low pressure of Mars. If you went to mars without an appropriate space suit, the oxygen in your blood would literally turn into bubbles, causing immediate death.
Fact 30:The month of march in named after Mars
Fact 31: NASA and ESA ( Europe Space Agency) hope to collaborate on future missions to Mars, including sample-return missions as well as eventually landing humans on Mas by 2035
