Rotation, Seasons and Surface of Planet Mars

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance as seen from Earth.

A terrestrial planet, Mars has a thin atmosphere and surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. It is the site of Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the solar system, and of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon. In addition to its geographical features, Mars' rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of the Earth.

This video shows the rotation speed of the red planet Mars relative to Earth, the seasonal cycles on Mars and its surface structure.

@iclotsofpills ice...... I causally looked up enjoying the moon when

I became aware its all covered in ice and all covered up with ice.

[Deathencounter]

cool i can see olympus mons and Valles marineris

[QBisbest]

I believe thats what it looked like in the past.

[jakbar92]

think they're just showing what mars may look like with alot of water, mayby if a rock containing ice smashes into it and melts....

[cooleybob4]

wait at the end starting from 2:22 mars has blue and red. i know this may sound stupid but is that water? and what was significant for the little ball that crashes into mars?

[iclotsofpills]

So whats reflecting light on the moon?

[funkyplayer4212]

The only problem is that anything we send to the surface of venus gets melted down in a few minutes. We can't really build a strong enough probe to with stand the temp and pressure for any length of time.

The organisms that could be living on venus may have adapted to the extreme temperatures....or not

we may never know

lol yah. i was thinking of uranus. sorry. but life is still impossible on venus. temperatures on venus's surface are estimated at over 800 degrees F. but that is just my opinion.
