Mars is the Red Planet. Everyone knows that... but it was also named for the God Of War. It was interesting, and we learned a lot about it.
* The Face of Mars is just a rock formation
* It is the closest planet to Earth
* It is the most similar to Earth. It has ice caps, and has seasons and the same type of tilt as Earth.
* The next mission to Mars will be in 2011. The planet travels closest to us every 2 years.
* It takes SIX MONTHS to get there! When we go, it will be for TWO YEARS!
* It has 38% gravity
* Amazingly, if you stand on Mars, your feet can be in flip flops, but your head would have to be in a stocking cap! There is that much temperature difference between your feet and your head!
