Mars

Mars means:
In astronomy mythology, Mars was the Roman god of war and agriculture. It may not seam like these two things go together, but they do. Mars protected those who fought for their communities, and stayed home to raise crops for food

How much would you weigh on Mars?
If you weighed 70 pounds on the Earth, you would weigh about 27 pounds on Mars.

The Planet:
Mars excites scientists because it's mild temperament is more like the Earth's than any of the other planets.   Evidence suggests that Mars once had rivers, streams, lakes, and even an ocean.  As Mars' atmosphere slowly depleted into outer space the surface water began to permanently evaporate.   Today the only water on Mars is either frozen in the polar caps, or underground.

Moons:
Mars has two moons, their names are Deimos and Phobos.
