1 Mars: The Red Planet

2 Mars Bio/Facts Diameter: 6,778 km Relative Mass (Earth = 1): 0.21 Density (kg/m 3 ): 3930 Distance from Sun (AU): 1.52 Length of Day: 24.7 hours Length of Year: 687.0 days Mean Temp: -85 ⁰F

3 Atmosphere Similar to Venus (CO 2 and Nitrogen (N 2 ) gases), but pressure and density of gases much less so no run away greenhouse effect. Constant wind and massive dust storms!

4 Moons PhobosDeimos Both very small, asteroid like objects (22.2 km and 12.6 km wide)
