Essay - Mars by Gordon

Mars

- Gordon

    Many of you know all 8 planets in the solar system. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.  Some of you know that all of them are named after gods. The only thing nobody knows for sure is that if there is life is Mars. I am going to give you a chance to see Mars closely and then you can decide what to think.

    First, we start our hunt for life on the top part of the planet Mars. What is your first reaction looking at this planet? You would probably think that there is no way there is life on a planet this dusty but do not think ahead. You need to think why scientists think that there is a chance that there is life on this red planet. Maybe it will help us to think better if we visit the whole planet. Not just the top part.

   

    Now, we see the southern part of this red planet. What are those that look like glaciers? Those are actual glaciers! You might want to think that if those glaciers melt, there would be water for people to live. Actually, it is so cold that it is impossible to melt. That is why scientists are not sure if there is life on Mars. It’s hard to decide: There are ways those glaciers can melt. 1 full rotation and then the glaciers melt   vs.   1 serving of water every year? That is tricky for me to decide because you can save water and get a little drink every day.

    Here are some special fact before I end the hunt for life on Mars:

• This planet swings between 15-35 degrees and 50 times in 5000,000 years 0-60 degrees
• Mars has a huge canyon
• Mars’s southern hemisphere is covered with snow
• Mars is made of basalt
• At night, Mars can be seen with naked eye

    Now you know more about Mars. What do you think about Mars with a little more knowledge? Remember: This is your opinion. You don’t have to agree with anyone. This interview is only to inform you about Mars. If you like this interview, you might like my last time topic: Saturn. You can read it on AARON AND GORDON’S BLOG!
