Mars

    

Hello everyone, today we are going to learn about Mars. In Roman mythology,Mars is the god of war. Do you know why Mars is called the Red Planet ? Mars is called the Red Planet because Mars is a reddish planet so they give it the name Mars. Now I will talk about Mars' moons. Something cool about Mars is, it has two moons and their names are Phobos and Deimos and they both are a small , heavily cratered object. Let me describe what  Mars's atmosphere and temperature look like. Mars' atmosphere is made of 75% of carbon dioxide and it's temperature is usually about -55 Celsius.
