SPACE-MARS

MARS   KNOWN  AS  THE  RED  PLANET ,  is  the  fourth  planet  from  the  Sun and  the  outer  most   rocky  planet .In  the  19th  century  , astronomers  first  observed   what  was  thought  to  be  sign  of   life   on  Mars.These  signs   included   apparent  carnal    like    marking   on  the  surface ,  and  dark  patches   that  were  thought  to  be   vegetation .
It  is  now  known    that   the  "canals" are  an  optical  illusion  ,  and  the  dark  patches   are  areas  where   the  red  dust     that   covers  most  of  the  planet   has  been  blown  away.The  fine  dust  particles  are   often  whipped  up  by  winds   into  dust  storms that  occasionally    obscure    all  the   surface  .Residual  dust    in  the   atmosphere   gives  the  martian  sky  a   pinkish  hue.The  northern  hemisphere  of     has  many    large  plains   formed  of   solidified  volcanic  lava ,  where as  the  southern  hemisphere   has  many  craters   and  large  impact  basins .There  are  also  several  huge  ,extinct    volcanoes ,  including  Olympus Mons, which  ,at  600  km  across  and 25  km  high  ,  is  the  largest  known  volcano    in  the  solar  system.The  surface  also   has  many   canyons  and  branching  channels .The  canyons   were  formed   by  movements  of  the  surface   crust  ,  but  the  channels  are  thought  to  have  been  formed   by  flowing   water   that  has  now  dried  up.
The  Martian  atmosphere    is  much  thinner   than    Earth's,  with  only a few  clouds   and  morning  mists .Mars  has   two  tiny  .  irregularly   shaped  moon   called  Phobos  and Deimos .Their  small  size  indicates   that  they may  be  asteroids   that  have  been  captured  by  the  gravity  of  the  Mars.
