Here's the deal, i need a good website which offers me a diverse amount of information, at least 4 scientifical facts, on our red planet Mars. Examples of facts would be like, what mars's atmosphere is composed of or why is it red and so on, citing the fact that the iron oxide in the soil makes the planet red, but anyway. Please provide me the website, some of it's details and what kinds of scientifical facts there are, or just give me the site. Thank you and have a great Yahooligan day.

I really like the website listed below.
Some facts:
The Mysterious Red Planet, Mars is actually more butterscotch in color.
Mars has the largest canyon in the solar system. It would reach from Los Angeles to Chicago if it was on Earth!
Mars has a very thin atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, but dust storms can cover the whole planet for months at a time. About every two years the Earth and Mars come close together. The planet has two moons, Diemos and Phobos.
It would take about 6 months for a spacecraft to get to Mars but the crew would have to wait a year and a half before returning. While there are no current plans for a manned mission to Mars you can see some designs at this NASA website, Mars Mission.
Olympus Mons, a 550 km wide volcano, is the largest volcano in the solar system and covers an area about the size of Arizona. It is 27 km high in contrast to Mt Everest on Earth at 8.85 km. Click on the image or here for a larger image.
There are a number of volcanoes on Mars but none seem to be geologically active. Mars also has large canyons, dust storms, sand dunes, polar ice caps and other features similar to those found on Earth.
Your weight on Earth is determined by your mass and Earth's mass. Would you weigh more or less on Mars?
Planet Names
Why are the planets named for Roman gods? What is the story or myth about their names? Click image or here for Planet Myths and Lore.
Close Encounter with Mars
Every two years or so the Sun, Earth and Mars line up. This is called an opposition. In 2003 Earth and Mars was really close. Click image or here for Mars Opposition 2003 page. (Hubble ST image)

There are micro organism, extraordinary right here, in the international, that stay without oxygen. undergo in strategies the gulf oil spill? by no ability seeing any solar, deep deep down interior the Earth the place there is not any longer something yet oil and rock, we got here across existence. We got here across worms that would stay to tell the story for hundreds of years down there. we've had the understand-the thank you to try this approximately two times as long as my present day era's been alive. It in basic terms feels like a "fail project" through fact our era's been experienced to be inspired via touch displays. you recognize, the comparable technologies that powered McDonald's money registers 2 many years in the past? we are pretending that's severe tech right this moment. And wager what's on the upward thrust? it relatively is extraordinary. action detectors. Oh my stars and garters, you advise there's a video activity console that would checklist my action? Wow. If in basic terms I had a time gadget i'd bypass lower back to the early 80s and- what's that? they might do this then? Crap, somebody beat me to it! In all seriousness, colonization of recent territory is needed for the human race to stay to tell the story and consistently has been. Plus, if we decide how do to a minimum of a few thing for area, that advantages us extraordinary right here in the international. it relatively is often been the case too. you recognize we did no longer even have clocks that labored extraordinary till we mandatory them for sea return and forth to u . s . a . of america? we will not restoration issues right here in the international without area, basic and straightforward. we've had the form to apply Earth's components greater effectively - even renew them quicker than we are able to apply them - for some years. What gets interior the way is politics. which you haven't got in any form of frontier. And one element you will by no ability run out of in area is frontier.
