how is its environment different from that of earth?
- Mars (diameter 6790 kilometers) is only slightly more than half the size of Earth (diameter 12750 kilometers). Almost 70% of Earth's surface is covered by liquid water. In contrast, Mars now has no liquid water on its surface and is covered with bare rock and dust.
what are the advantages of this planet?
- Imagine living on another planet, millions of miles from the Earth; looking up into the sky with the knowledge that one of the 'stars' is actually the planet you were born on. Who can even envision the incredible feeling of being the first human in history to step out of the capsule and leave your footprint on the surface of Mars? Mars has a 24-hour day. It has polar ice caps. Its axis is tilted compared with its orbit, just as Earth is tilted on its axis. That means Mars goes through seasons, just like Earth.
what are the disadvantages of this planet?
- There is no liquid water.
Its very cold. There is no magnetic field to protect against cosmic rays or the solar wind. The air is very thin (less than 1% the air pressure on Earth). There is no oxygen in the little bit of air. Humans can't live on Mars without a LOT of infrastructure (airtight habitats, power to make water, air, grow food, etc.)
I cant answer anymore questions but I think that you should choose the newspaper article. after giving you all this information you could just summarize it so that you wouldnt have to copy every single word. hope it helps.
