Can people live on Mars? What would it look like to live in another planet not Earth? Since the 20th century, there have been several trials to go to Mars. Many scientists believe that stele Earth and Mars are twins because af the similarities between the two planets. Many organizations have given reasons to people to travel to Mars, but no person has set @ foot on the planet. However, NASA scientists’ team has successfully explored the surface of the planet. They gave information about the climate and the weather. One of the strangest information about Mars is that Earth and Mars have the same length of a day. A full day on Mars ts 24 hours and 37 minutes but a year on Mars is longer than Earth. Another similarity between Mars and Earth is the presence of four seasons. Besides, Mars has valleys, volcano and mountains. However, the temperature is much higher than Earth. Mars is known as the Red Pianet because of the red soil on its land. I think that the main reason for traveling to Mars is that scientists want to do more research about the possibility of living on other planets! They think that Earth will be overcrowded and polluted, They wanted to find another peaceful planet to live. This topic has received extensive attention in science fiction writing, film, and art. Many wonderful films were produced about space, which ts the best thing in my views!ENGLISH.
