Slide 1, Title Page:

I am doing my Science Project on the planet Mars.

Slide 2, Surface:

Mars Surface is rocky, with canyons, volcanoes, dry lake beds, and it also has craters all over it. Mars also is mostly covered with dust that looks kinda like red dust that floats all the way around, on the edge. It also has winds and clouds and other things just like Earth.

Slide 3, Temperature:

During the winter Mars can get as low as -195 degrees fahrenheit { -125 degrees celsius}. On a summer day Mars can get as high as 70 degrees fahrenheit {20 degrees celsius}. At night Mars can get to about -100 degrees fahrenheit { -73 degrees celsius }.

Slide 4, Atmosphere:

The atmosphere of Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth’s

atmosphere. Mars is somewhere around 95 percent carbon dioxide. Mars is 95.32 percent carbon dioxide and about 2.7 percent Nitrogen

Slide 5, Size and Mass:
Mars has a size of 2,106 mi {diameter = 6,787 km} . Mars is the second smallest planet out of all the planets. The Mass of Mars is 6.39 x 0.107 meters.

Slide 6, Distance from the Sun:
The distance from Mars to the sun is 141.6 million miles. Mars is the 4th planet from the sun. Witch makes Mars a warm planet since it is not very far away from the sun. The farthest planet away from the sun is Neptune.

Slide 7, Orbital period:
It takes 687 days for Mars to get around the sun. That is 322 more days than it takes for earth to travel around the sun and end up right back where Mars started.

Slide 8, Moons:
Mars has 2 moons, these moons are Phobos and Deimos. It takes Phobos and Deimos, 7 hours and 39 minutes to travel all the way around Mars. There has been 40 missions to Mars, in September 2014 , but only 18 of those missions were successful missions.

Slide 9, 10 Facts about Mars:
Mars got its name from the Roman god of the war.
Mars is also often described as the “ Red Planet ” due to its red like appearance.
Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere composed primarily of Carbon Dioxide.
There is also a candy bar named after planet Mars.
Mars has some of the largest dust storms in our solar system.
Some of Mars pieces of its surface have fallen onto planet Earth.
Some scientist think that one day Mars will have a ring just like Saturn.
Scientist say that there is some liquid water on Mars, but not a tons.
Mars is home to the tallest Mountains in the solar systems.
