Earth and Mars
Earth is the fifth largest planet in the solar system at 7,900 miles across. It is made mostly of rock. Earth has
one moon, which orbits every 28 days or about one Earth month. One day on Earth equals 24 hours. Twelve
months on Earth equals one year. It takes the Earth one year to orbit the Sun. Earth is 93 million miles away
from the sun. This distance is necessary for Earth’s ability to support life forms such as plants, animals, and
humans. At this distance from the sun, Earth is able to maintain habitable temperatures. Planet Earth is also
able to support life because it contains oxygen and water.
Mars is the seventh largest planet in the solar system at 4,200 miles across. Like Earth, it is composed
primarily of rock. Mars has 2 moons, which each orbit the planet at very different rates. As on Earth, one day
on Mars equals 24 hours. However, one year on Mars is equivalent to 23 months on Earth. Mars is 142 million
miles from the sun. Currently, scientists believe that Mars cannot support life because many of the landforms
on Mars are cold, dry deserts. Satellite pictures indicate the existence of two oceans on the North and South
Poles of Mars, but they are both frozen. Without water, oxygen, and habitable temperatures, life cannot be
supported on Mars.
