Mars as a planet

Are you in a mood to let your thinking go beyond the frontiers of Earth? Then YES you landed yourself in the right place intentionally or unintentionally.......


Hello everyone,

Lets start off with MARS::

Mars---the fourth planet in our solar system.
Is that all?--Well NO, there is lot more about it.

Before getting into astronomical terms, let's talk something mythological.

MARS is the son of Jupiter, the lover of Venus and the husband of Bellona and above all he is the god of Romans.Though Jupiter is the main god of the Romans, Mars is considered as the god of vegetation who protects cattle.He was considered the guardian god of the city of Rome. As he was believed as the legendary father of Rome's founder, Romulus, the belief was that all residents of Rome were the direct descendants of Mars.

In astronomical terms, as we all know Mars id the fourth planet in our solar system and is also considered to be an inhabitant planet only next to earth.

It is also called as the red planet and is the only visible planet from the earth without telescopes.It is generally seen in the night.Astronomers who are otherwise called as space gazers considered Mars as the next terrestrial planet with the evidences of water present in it.

But it is not practically possible because Mars has 95% carbon dioxide and only 0.13% of oxygen and water cannot be even considered in mathematical terms.Temperature is also not as of earth.It is -63° C on an average.So with these proportions of life supporting elements, is it possible for human beings to live and sustain...Well the answer may sound a bit unfavoring, but its the fact which we need to accept.

Mars crust is similar to Earth's, a mantle and a core. Mars core size and mass can be determined. Mass and size was determined accurately from early missions. But no other factors see the limelight till date.

So there are points which support as well as go against the fact of life acceptance in Mars.

Let us all wait to witness the change the technology undergoes to decide the whether we can rely on the planet for life if earth runs out of resources.
