Facts About Mars

The diameter of Mars is 1920
miles, little over half that of this
planet, and it's surface area is
.285 that of the Earth.
Mars has an average distance
of 48,500,000 miles farther from
the sun than has the Earth.
The year of Mars is composed
of 687 days.
The density of the neighboring
plant, Mars, approximately one
quarter that of the Earth
An article weighing 100 pounds
on the Earth weighs 38 pounds on
Mars, due to the fact that gravita
tion on the smaller planet is but
38 per cent that on the Earth.
Water would boil at 115 degrees,
or by the suns rays on Mars, due
to the rarity of the air, which is
similar to that at the highest
mountain peaks on this planet.
1t has been estimated that the
Earth has $4,000 times as much
water as has Mars.
A series of geometrically laid
out lines upon Mars, some radiat-
ing about centers, have given rise
to the belief that they indicate
canals, used in distributing the
melting SHOWS about the arid
planet.

lars will be nearer the earth tha
