Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, around 142 million miles away with surface temperatures ranging from about 20°C during the day to -150°C at night. It has an atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide and features craters, volcanoes and mountains, including Olympus Mons which is the largest mountain in the solar system. While water exists on Mars in frozen form, current conditions are too cold and atmospheric composition unsuitable to support life, though some scientists speculate that terraforming efforts could make Mars habitable to life in over 100,000 years.

2. Distance from the sun and surface temperature.Mars is 142 million miles away from the Sun. In the daytime the temperature is about 20 ÌŠc and at night the temperature is under -150 ÌŠc .
3. WaterYes, because I found out that there is a north and south pole on Mars. Water exists but it is frozen and we cannot reach it.
4. SurfaceIt has craters , volcanoes and mountains Mars has the biggest mountain in the solar system its named Olympus Mons
5. Is there an atmosphere? What is the atmosphere made of? On Mars there is an atmosphere.The atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide.
6. Interesting factsMars has the highest mountain in the solar system its named Olympus Mons.The temperature can go down to -165 ÌŠc .
7. Would your planet sustain live .I'm not sure but some scientists think that Mars in 100,000 of years could turn into a planet like Earth. But scientists will have to change the air on Mars.
