  6. Atmosphere Q. What is your composition of the atmosphere of your planet? Is it a thick or a thin atmosphere? A. Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Argon. It is a thin Atmosphere

  7. Distances Order from the sun: 4th from the sun Distance from the sun in Km: 2.2x108km Distance from the earth in Km: 54.6 million Km

  8. Orbit and Rotation Q. How long does it take for your planet to orbit the sun? • 1.88 Earth years Q. How long does it take for your planet to rotate on its own axis? A. 24.622.9

  9. Temperature Q. What is the temperature range on your planet? A. 218 k ( -55c , -67F)

  11. Rings No Rings

  12. Water Q. What forms of water are found on Mars? • Ice, vapor North Pole- ice cap South Pole- no bodies of water because of atmosphere pressure

  13. Weather • Stormy thunder • Chill Atmosphere • Clouds of water ice winds- up to 50 mph • Cold- drop to -100 • Poles- -200

  14. Moons Q. Is their any moons on your planet? • yes, 2 moons • phobos- Asaph Hall – August 1877 • Deimos- Asaph Hall – August 12, 1877

  15. Human to planet?? Q. On your Planet, would a person choke in the atmosphere, be squashed be the extreme gravity, float with ease, freeze, burn up, or something else? A. If people traveled to Mars they would freeze, float really high- gravity(low) and your lungs would pop.
