4: - The Martian "day" is only a little longer than a day on Earth. On Mars, one day lasts 24 hours, 37 minutes, 23 seconds, while on Earth, one day lasts 23 hours 56 minutes, 04 seconds.

5: - Scientists have gathered many evidences that suggest that Mars was once significantly more habitable than it is today, but scientists are still far from responding if there were ever living organisms on Mars or not.

6: - Mars is rich in water ice, in fact, NASA in 2007 stated that the volume of water ice in the ice cap of the South Pole, if it melted, would be enough to cover the entire planetary surface at a depth of 11 meters.

7: - The deepest surface point on Mars is Hellas, about 3 km deep.

8: - Sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach Earth, 12 minutes and 47 seconds to reach Mars, and 5.5 hours to reach Pluto.

9: - The highest mountain in the solar system is the Olympus Mons volcano, on Mars at an altitude of approximately 16 miles, three times the height of Mount Everest. It covers an area almost the size of France, and has lava flows that are so young that some scientists think it might still be active. Olympus Mons has a cliff at its outer edge that rises to 5 miles high.

10: - Mars is full of craters, currently more than 43,000 craters with a diameter of 5 km or more have been found.

11: - Methane is produced on Mars and changes from one season to another. The gas was first detected in 2003 when a 19,000 ton plume was detected. Methane is produced by geological activity or biological activity.

12: - It is known that life exists only on Earth, but in 1986 NASA found what they thought could be fossils of microscopic living things on a rock of Mars.

17: - Most of the surface of Mars is mainly composed of basalt. Basalt is black and fine-grained extrusive volcanic rock.

18: - In winter, the temperatures at the poles of Mars can drop to -140 ° C (-220 degrees Fahrenheit), these temperatures are called so even the carbon dioxide freezes.

19: - The atmosphere on Mars contains traces of oxygen, but the most dominant ingredient in the atmosphere of Mars is carbon dioxide (about 95% share).

20: - Many recent studies believe that Mars was hit by a body the size of Pluto about four billion years ago. The direct result of this coup was the Borealis basin that covers 40% of the planet.

The Difference Between Being Intelligent And Being Wise

Intelligent : •   wise, cunning, capable of thinking and reason Wisdom: • The state of being wise • Ability to use knowledge and / or experience wisely • Able to determine what is wise against what is unwise • A saying, a philosophy or other advice considered wise In Short:  An intelligent man has a whole sea of knowledge and knows every fact. On the other hand, a wise man does not have all the knowledge that an intelligent man has, but he has the brain to know when to use knowledge. I have seen a lot of smart people make really stupid decisions. I was one of those people! The information I had before and after these decisions has not changed. But with every wrong decision, if I was willing to learn, my level of wisdom changed. The main difference is that: A smart or intelligent person knows how to solve any problem. A wise person knows how to avoid this problem. Knowledge makes a person intelligent. Experience makes a person wise.

Why Are Planets Round?

Our Solar System. Big, small but round. But, why all the planets and stars are round?  The eight planets in our solar system differ in many ways. They are of different sizes. They are different distances from the sun. Some are small and rocky, and others are large and gaseous. But all are nice and round. Why is that? Why don't they have cubes, pyramids or discs? Planets are round because of a process known as "spherical shape formation". This process is caused by the forces of gravity and centrifugal force. Gravity is the force that pulls all objects towards the center of mass. The stronger the gravity, the more compact an object will be. As a planet forms, the gravity of all the matter within it causes it to pull together and become denser. This results in the planet becoming more and more spherical in shape. Additionally, as a planet spins on its axis, the centrifugal force caused by this rotation also contributes to the spherical shape. ...
