In the solar system, Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, located between Earth and Jupiter. The gravity of Mars is one third of that of the Earth. Mars is a terrestrial planet, as it means that we can land on the surface of Mars. The name of Mars is named after Ares, one of the Greek deities, who is in charge of war.

Some people say that living creature may have existed on Mars since there are many evidences for the presence of water on Mars surface. One of the noticeable thing on Mars is Olympus Mons, which is the tallest volcano on Mars, and maximum height above the surface of it is about 27 km and its area is immense enough to cover the whole part of Korean peninsula.

Mars is referred to the planet on which mankind possibly found a colony because of the fact that its atmosphere and environment are most similar to the Earth. If it is possible to terrafrom the Mars, humankind may leave the Earth for Mars in order to continue their lives and growth. I wish we can pull off turning mars into the place where we can live some day!
