Mars - A Miracle Planet!

-





Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, is a planet named the "Miracle Planet". This planet is almost only desert. But something makes it special. Something which makes it a Miracle! So in this Article, we will discuss about some unknown yet amazing facts about Mars! Watch this Video about Mars, made by our KidsCast! YT Animation Makers! 


As told in the Above video, Mars is classified as one of the most important planets of the Solar System. Also, scientists are researching more on this planet because of its amazing features and facts. So let us discuss these unknown yet amazing facts about the Red Planet - Mars!

  •  Mars is known for its red color, especially its soil. This soil is of red color because of a chemical compound called Iron oxide, also called as rust which is present in the soil of Mars. 


  • Mars has the tallest mountain ever known to mankind, named Olympus Mons. This mountain is actually a Shield Volcano, which might still be active. A shield Volcano is a volcano which is composed almost entirely of the fluid lava flows. Olympus Mons is 22 km (13.67 miles) from the surface and is almost 3 times higher from Mount Everest. 
  • Mars's gravity is known to be sufficient for the Human Body to adapt to. That means that humans can walk on Mars almost just like they do on Earth. For precise calculation, the Gravity of Mars is: 3.711 m/s².
  • Mars has polar ice caps just like Earth has Arctic and Antarctica. These polar ice caps are permanent and one is at the north pole of Mars and one is at the south Pole of Mars. Mars Polar Ice Caps contains water ice and the CO2 ice (Carbon Dioxide Ice). The Carbon Dioxide Ice in these Polar ice caps is basically Dry Ice. 
  • Mars is believed to had been a water-rich planet, which dried up after a few years, and is desert today. This is believed because of a few hints and observations of dried rivers, as in the picture below. 


  •  Scientists of NASA and JPL have recently sent a NASA rover named Perseverance Mars 2020 mission which will look for signs of ancient life on Mars, and will send NASA pictures so they can research on the same pictures. 

All of these things we discussed above are mostly only found on Mars. So we can say, that after Earth, Mars is the most special planet in the Solar System! Now do you want to have some fun? There are a few activities you can do:

Hello!  Welcome back to another article! I am sure we had talked about the incidents of the Bermuda Triangle earlier, but lets talk about one of them in detail today! Are you excited? So let us begin! WHAT IS THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE?? For those of you who don't know what the Bermuda Triangle, let me tell you. The Bermuda Triangle is a loosely defined area in the western part of the North Atlantic ocean where a number of ships and planes have gone missing under mysterious circumstances. It also vaguely looks like a triangle with its vertices being Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. USS Cyclops' Disappearance USS CYCLOPS was the second of four Proteus-class colliers or ships we can say, built for the United States Navy several years before World War. The loss of the ship and 306 crew memebers without a trace, remains to be America's greatest loss of life in their Naval history without any combat. It was thought to be sunken by a German Raider but the German Government denied any

The Early Explorers: Our story begins with the early explorers who came to the land that is now the United States. These adventurous individuals, like C hristopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, and John Cabo t, sailed across the vast oceans to discover new lands. They were looking for a shorter route to Asia but stumbled upon the vast continent of North America instead. So it was by accident that they reached North America. But yes, they had discovered a whole new continent! These discoveries paved the way for future explorations and the eventual founding of the USA. But it didn't come so easily.  Settlers and People: One of the most famous s

Microorganisms, often too tiny to be seen without a special tool called a microscope, are remarkable living beings that are all around us. These tiny creatures, also known as microbes, have a big impact on our world. While microbes help us in many things, such as decomposition, breaking down things, digestion and making some foods, some other microbes also are dangerous to us. In this article, we will embark on an exciting journey to discover the fascinating world of microorganisms, exploring who they are, their different types, and even some surprising facts that make them both friends and foes. What are Microorganisms? Microorganisms, or microbes for short, are living things that are so small that you can't see them with just your eyes – you need a microscope. They're basically very small and very tiny creatures which you cannot see just by your eyes. They come in different shapes and sizes and are incredibly important, despite being super tiny. Microbes include bacteria, v
