Do you like to look at the moon at night? Well, check this out –– Mars has two moons! One is called Phobos and the other Deimos.

You could jump around three times higher on Mars than you can on Earth. Boing! This is because the planet’s gravity – the force that keeps us on the ground – is much weaker.

Mars is home to the highest mountain in our solar system –– a volcano called Olympus Mons. Standing a whopping 24 kilometres high, it’s about three times the height of Mount Everest!

Mars fact of the day: A year on Mars is 687 Earth days long (almost twice as long as Earth years). This is because it takes a lot longer than Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun.

No one game year will be as it is on Earth not Mars 🤣

Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system after Mercury. With a diameter (distance through the middle) of 6,791 kilometres, it’s roughly half the size of Earth.
