uncertain, but, probably with a radius that is approximately 1 billion 228 million kilometers (883 times that of the Sun), it isone of the largest stars in the Universe, and if placed in the center of the Solar System, its outer surface would lie between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter...
In terms of their size and mass, Earth and Mars are quite different. With a mean radius of 6371 km and a mass of5.97×1024kg, Earth is the fifth largest and fifth most-massive planet in the Solar System, and the largest of the terrestrial planets. Mars, meanwhile, has a radius of a...
The four inner planets — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars — share several features in common. Astronomers call them "terrestrial planets" because they have solid, rocky surfaces roughly similar to desert and mountainous areas on the earth. The inner planets are much smaller than Jupiter, Saturn,...

This paper used the similarities between the ionospheres on Mars and Earth, the most similar of the terrestrial planets, to examine the relative importance of photochemical and transport processes at dawn and dusk. The amount of plasma present in the ion
MarsterahertzTerahertz waves have wide application prospects in space communication because of their strong penetration ability, wide band, and strong directional antenna. Therefore, it is necessary to study the propagation characteristics of terahertz waves in space, such as in the environment on Mars....
Remote determination of crystal- linity of volcanic samples by the CheMin instrument, an XRD instrument on board the MSL Curiosity rover21, therefore provides a novel approach for identifying magma–water interactions in the record of explosive volcanism on Mars, and potentially evaluating the ...
Kastel co-founded The Cornucopia Institute, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2024, and is also executive director and founder of OrganicEye. He notes that while the 1990 Organic Foods Production Act was well-intentioned, its implementation has been problematic:1 ...
Full size image The protosolar nebula (PSN) has δ15N as low as −380‰, while comets have δ15N up to +1000‰ (Fig.1). Both cannot be a substantial source of Earth’s volatiles4,5, in light of Earth’s mantle δ15N of −5‰. The CI and CM chondrite-like materials, which...
Until about a decade ago, only two habitable zone planets of any size were known to astronomers: Earth and Mars. Within the last decade, however, thanks to discoveries made through both ground-based telescopes and theKepler mission(which also looked for exoplanets from 2009 to 2019, but ...
