May the Fourth Be With You: 5 Interesting and Crazy Facts About Mars!

 

You probably think you know all about Mars, the fourth planet in our solar system. But what makes this planet interesting is that there’s so much left to explore. We still don’t know everything about it and over the years, we’ve discovered various things that have left us in awe!

With that in mind, here are fun and interesting facts about the fourth planet:

Mars Is Known as the ‘Red Planet’

It’s because Mars is covered in soil, rock, and dust made from iron oxide, it has a rusty-red colored surface. Mars is one of the most explored bodies in our solar system, and it's the only planet where we've sent rovers to roam its landscape.

Mars Has Seasons

Yes, that’s right! Just like earth, Mars has seasons. It experiences a tilt in its axis, which causes the planet to experience summer, spring, fall and winter. The only difference is that it gets different sunlight due to being closer to the sun than the earth. In addition, the seasons are twice as long.

Mars Is Smaller Than the Earth

Mars is smaller than Earth with a diameter of 4217 miles. This means that it is the second smallest planet in the solar system. The smallest planet is Mercury.

A Day on Mars Lasts 24 Hours

Well, 24 hours 37 minutes, to be precise. This makes it similar to our own planet. However, a year in Mars is 687 days long. That’s 1.9 years on earth. If you don’t want to age quickly, you know where to go!

Mars Has Weak Gravity

The gravity on mars is 37 percent than earth’s! This means that on Mars you could jump 3x higher than on earth. Sounds fun, right?

These are a few interesting facts about the planet. Are you interested in learning more about Mars? We recommend reading the book, “We’re Not So Different”.

The plot of the book focuses on Martians becoming exhausted and tired of the meddling of humans on their planet, and decide to do something about it.

After decades of probes the aliens are gearing up to declare war. But not all of Mars’ residents are happy with the notion of war.

A Martian named Lois and her son volunteer to conduct a scouting mission on earth, which will decide the fate of humans.

Fabian Grant will make you question your own perception of the world around and life itself. Are we really who we think we are or are we controlled by our desires to achieve something more? The themes of war, conflict, and self-reflection are prominent in this book.

The book is available on Amazon and Kindle.
