Nienke Kernkamp's document introduces Mars and discusses several facts about the planet. It notes that Mars may have once or currently support life. The document states that Mars is 142 million miles from the sun, with surface temperatures ranging from -184°F to 80°F. While there is currently only frozen water on Mars, some scientists believe there may still be liquid water underground. The largest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons, is located on Mars. The document suggests that with melting ice and altering the atmosphere, humans may be able to live on Mars in the future.
