Fourth Rock From the Sun
The fourth rock form the Sun is also known as Mars. Mars is a dead barren planet, but when the past comes alive anything is possible. It's believed that at one time on Mars a thick nitrogen atmosphere was present with fresh running water, but was that enough to sustain life? If so did life on Earth become created from life on Mars? Mars today is the dull red planet. We have spent billions of dollars launching probes and unmanned missions in the search for life in our Universe. What we have researched the most about Mars is the chemical makeup, which is three times the amount of sulfur, two times the carbon-dioxide, much less nitrogen, and a density of about 3.5 meaning the planet has a small inner core and more alloys then metals. The sulfur is what gives the planet the red tint. The temperature of the red planet is about -80 F around the equator and closer to -100 F at the polar caps. There are many interesting physical features on Mars as well such as Mt. Olympus which is the largest mountain in the Universe reaching 12 Kilometers, and also the Trench of the Mariners. The Trench of the Mariners is our Grand Canyon but twice as deep and would run from L.A. to Washington D.C. if in the sam
