Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and named after the Roman god of war. It has a cold temperature ranging from -184°F to 80°F due to its distance of 142 million miles from the Sun. While scientists initially thought there was water on Mars, it is now known to exist mostly in the form of ice. The surface is composed of iron oxide and basalt, and the atmosphere contains nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide and other poisonous gases. With melting of ice to create water and machines to remove toxic gases, it may be possible for life to exist on Mars.

INTRODUCING MARS I chose Mars because: I have heard that there is water on Mars. Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system. It is named after the roman god of war.It is probably possible to live on it.
TEMPERATURE AND DISTANCEMars is 142 million miles from the sun. The temperature there is – 184° to + 80° F degrees.
IS THERE WATER ON MARSScientists thought there is water on Mars but it turns out it was mostly ice.
SURFACEThe surface on Mars is made out of iron oxide and basalt.
GASESThe gases on Mars are poisonous they are made out of: nitrogen, argon, and oxygen.
ATMOSPHEREThe atmosphere on Mars is made out of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide and other gases.
INTERESTING FACTSMars is about half the size of Earth only 6,800 km across.Olympus Mons is taller than Mount Everest.One of Mars’s moons is going to crash into it.
LIFEMars could probably support life if they melted the ice to make water and used a machine to take the poisonous gases out of the air. But if they did not do that it would not be possible for life on it because: there is poisonous gases in the air it is to cold.
THE ENDThank you for watching!
