I. Introduction- History of Mars
In ancient Roman religion, Mars (Greek: Ares) was the god of war and was an agricultural guardian. He was the second most important only to Jupiter and Neptune. Mars was the strongest military god of them all according to the religion of the Roman army. Mars was a part of the Archaic Triad with Jupiter and Quirinus. Mars used his military powers as a way to secure peace. Mars was a father Romulus and Remus and his wife was Rhea Silvia. Many people think Mars got its name because of its red color because Mars the god was sometimes called the red planet.
Some basic facts about mars are that it is about the same age as the sun which is about 4.5 billion years. Mars’s location is in our solar system. Its average distance from the sun is 227,900,000 kilometers which is 141,600,000 miles. For mars to get around the sun it takes 1.88 Earth years which is 687 days. Mars has two moons. One is called Deimos and one is called Phobos. One day on mars is twenty-four hours, thirty-nine minutes, and thirty-five seconds. Mars has the same amount of months and seasons as we do but for one year on mars it is 1.88 human years.
Mars has a heavy and strong structure and always will. Mars atmosphere extends about one hundred miles. There is a layer of permafrost that may pervade the upper crust. Its Crust is ten through eighty miles thick. The amount of miles it is from the core to the surface is 1,700 – 2,600 miles. Mars core is 1,600 –
Throughout time, history has paved the way for countless controversial events. It is through history that people have a deeper understanding of how the country evolved over the centuries. The history of America is no exception. Events that took place back then were either beneficial or detrimental to the growth of the nation, especially when it comes to documents that were written to deliberately affect the colonists and the Indians living in the U.S. Two major documents that shaped the development of the U.S. were the Proclamation of 1763 and the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The Proclamation of 1763 was a royal decree from King George III. It was a drastic attempt to ease tension and fights between colonists and Indians after the Platonic War where Indians rebelled against England. The Proclamation of 1763 stated that American colonists were prohibited to settle in land west of the Appalachian Mountains. King George created an imaginary line that spread from the crest of the Appalachian Mountains. He stated that
Mars inhabits Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the Solar
1. The Egyptians gave Mars its first recorded name: Har dècher (“The red one”). The Babylonians called it Nergal (“Star of death”). The Greeks and Romans named the planet after their respective gods of war, Ares and Mars. The Hebrews called it Ma’adim, or “One who blushes.” Many ancient people believed the reddish color came from actual blood on the planet.f 2. The month of March is named after Mars.a 3. The symbol for Mars looks like a shield and a spear from the war god Mars/Ares. It is also the symbol for the male sex.a 4. The ancient Greeks thought that Earth was the center of the universe and that Mars was one of the five traveling stars that revolved around it.f 5. Egyptians called
Mars is a rocky body about half the size of Earth. Like Earth, Mars experiences seasons because of the tilt of its rotational axis, so its distance to the sun changes, according to NASA (n.d.). Telescope observations show water-iced clouds, polar ice, and volcanoes. Mars has the largest Volcanic Mountain in the solar system, named the Olympus Mons and has two moons in its orbit.
Did you watch The Martian in the movie theaters? It’s hard to make the distinction between science fiction and reality. This paper is dedicated to describing the geology of Mars in reference to our own planet. How do the two planets relate? On a fun note, is there any point in going to Mars? In conclusion, with the power of research, this paper will unlock the mystery surrounded with the geology of Mars.
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. This red planet is 3,389.5 kilometers in size. In pop culture, Mars was a symbol of war and aggression for thousands of years. The kilometer size was very shocking to me. Today, mars is covered in toxic soil and zapped with radiation as it says in the "Pop Culture Mars" article. That seems very dangerous. Mars' diameter is half of Earth's diameter. In the article, "Pop Culture Mars," it states that Mars will soon be a place that humans will soon be able to settle at. Mars has changed over many of years. It all started BC (before Christ). I honestly believe Mars has Earth-like features. Studies have shown that there was water found in Mars. I honestly have no idea about what technology that would be made
Mars, God of War. Considered the fiercest of the Gods next to Jupiter. His Greek equivalent was Aries.
The Martian starts off with Mark Watney, a Botanist and Mechanical Engineer, being stranded on Mars after his flight crew of the Ares 3 thought he had died from shrapnel flying through the air and impaling him. So starts Watney 687 days of survival on Mars, starting with first how to survive with no food. To survive Watney starts growing potatoes in the crew’s Martian habitat (HAB) and burning hydrazine to make water. After NASA starts looking at the satellite images of the landing site start showing evidence of a living
The distance from the Sun to Mars is 142 million miles! It would take about 2 1/2 years to get there. The size of Mars is 4,220 miles wide. To fill up Earth, it would take more than 6 Mars'. What surprises me the most about Mars is how large it is. It's also awesome how much bigger earth is than Mars. I'm surprised how some people become astronats. It would take about 5 years out of your life just to go somewhere you've never been before with people you might barely know. Three decades ago, we did not have the technology we have today. Todays technology has shown us that Mars is rocky, cold, and dry. I think that new technology will let us be able to go to mars. After that, we could find out more about more not just with rovers. I think it
Mars developed into the god of war, which is where we get the association to the Greek god Ares, and was only second in importance to Jupiter. As being seen as the god of war, the Romans also looked to him for protection of the city and empire. This included the protection of the borders of the city and the frontiers. He was also associated with agriculture and the protection of livestock and crops. The Roman Emperor Augustus helped Mars gain its honor and prestige among the Romans.
In 2015, the United States pours nearly $49 billion dollars in its foreign aid program. While the past of the United States has been centered around foreign affairs. This is the concept of an independent America, straying away from overseas involvements. However, in order to address the leaders of the UN General Assembly, Trump suggests others do the same. He explains before extending aid to other countries, the United States will focus on more internal problems. Disguising his true goal of America first, Trump attempts to appeal to the people of the UN with the term “sovereignty”. To provide an argument for his isolationist beliefs, Trump utilizes the devices of anaphora, juxtaposition and word choice. By employing these devices, Donald Trump expresses what he feels are his moral obligations of America first.
It is also said that the United States government has the technology to travel to Mars and that they have secretly taken humans from planet earth over to Mars since the late 60's. It is said that Mars has is very much like Earth and not as red as commonly portrayed on the surface. Vegetation is said to be scarce on the moon and therefore there is not much oxygen
PRE-HOSPITAL CARE: Three critical tasks must be rapidly performed by prehospital providers caring for trauma victims:
Another important God was Mars, also known as Ares in Greek mythology, who was the God of war. He was believed to be one of the founders of Rome along with Romulus and Remus, even along with Jupiter. Mars was more protective in this form than his Greek form. “The Romans admired Mars’s traits of courage, strength, and justice…” (Mass 68). This shows that the nation of Rome more and likely believed that he was such a great God. Within the pantheon, Mars was given the second highest spot, right behind Jupiter who was
In addition, the crust of Mars contains more volatile elements such as sulfur and chlorine than Earth.
