Exploration Of Mars Research Paper
Please go to the Nasa website below to learn more about Mars. Explore reading links and videos. Take notes during your exploration of the website. Answer the questions below. Please follow all guidelines for discussion. Include 3 peer responses.
1. Describe what Mars physical properties are with details.
Mars has a striking red appearance, and in its most favorable position for viewing, when it is opposite of the sun, it is twice as bright as Sirius, the brightest star. Mars has a diameter of 4,200 mi (6,800 km), just over half the diameter of the earth, and its mass is only 11% of the earth’s mass. The average temperature is -81 degrees F. Has polar ice caps, canyons, clouds in its atmosphere, seasonal weather patterns, and volcanoes.
2. What …show more content…
-100 is what it can get to in the winter that is very cold. And I also didn’t know that Mars was as bright as it is explaining in the article.
3. How was the exploration of Mars changed over the last 3 decades?
Over the past 3 decades, spacecraft have shown us that Mars is rocky, cold, and dry beneath its hazy, pink sky. We’ve discovered that today’s Martian wasteland hints at a formerly volatile world where volcanoes once raged, meteors plowed deep craters, and flash floods rushed over the land. Mars continues to throw out new enticements with each landing or orbital pass made by our new spacecraft.
4. What new technology do you think may be created to expand our knowledge of Mars?
In the future, I feel like mars is not going to stop making rovers. Although, the rovers will be able to last longer and have better tools so scientist can discover more about Mars with the new technologies. I also feel like there is going to be a certain tool that will show that water has been in those places in Mars. We never really know but I do hope they do create more technologies so our knowledge in Mars will
