For an assignment I have to research Mars. Including size, temperature and gravity. My teacher wants a summary of these. Can someone please help me shorten this wall of text into like 1 paragraph? It was 1 full page before, but I took out all the technical terms and stuff. but I need it shorter still.
Mars, with a diameter of about 6800 kilometers, is a little more than half the size of Earth. If Earth was the size of a cricket ball, Mars would be about the size of a golf ball.
The gravity on Mars is much lower than you’re used to on Earth. In fact, the gravity on Mars is 38% the gravity on Earth. In other words, if you weigh 100 kg on Earth, you would only weigh 38 kg on Mars. (0.376 g or 3.69 m/s²) Just imagine what you could do with your Earth strength in the lower Mars gravity. You could throw balls twice as high and far, and you could jump 3 times as high.
Mars is never what we would call "hot." It is too far from the Sun. In the winter, Mars can get as cold as 191 degrees below zero. In the summer, the temperature on Mars only reaches about 24 degrees below zero. So, although summer is much warmer than winter, it is never as warm as Earth. The difference in temperature is due to the fact that Mars is tilted on its axis. Just like the Earth, as Mars orbits the Sun, the seasons change. But, all the seasons on Mars are cold!
If anyone can lend any assistance, I would really appreciate it.
thank you very much!
