Other space agencies including nasa are engaged in the search for life on Mars. Actually, it is believed that at one time there must have been life on Mars just like on Earth. This planet has often been compared to Earth, but has there really ever been life on the red planet? Well, scientists are busy finding answers to these questions. Anyway, today we will tell you interesting facts related to Mars.
How much do you know about Mars?
Do you know that Mars is much smaller than Earth in size? Its diameter is 53 percent of the diameter of Earth. You will be surprised to know that the size of Earth is formed after joining six Mars. Apart from this, the gravity of Mars is much less than Earth. Here the gravity is only one-third compared to the gravity of Earth. In this way, if your weight on Earth is 100 kg, then on Mars you will be only 38 kg. Also, the seasons on Mars are about twice as long as those on Earth, because while one year on Earth is of 365 days, one year on Mars is of 687 days.
The largest volcano in the solar system is on Mars
Apart from this, Mars has two moons. Phobos and Deimos actually look like asteroids, but you will be surprised to know that despite having two moons, there is never a solar eclipse on Mars. However, the largest volcano in the solar system is also on Mars. Olympus Mons here is not only the largest volcano of Mars but of the entire solar system. The largest crater on this planet is the Borealis Basin. It is not the largest crater in the solar system, but it covers 40 percent of Mars.
