	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Mars
		Mars has only a quarter the surface area of the Earth and only one-tenth the mass (though its surface area is approximately equal to that of the Earth's dry land because Mars lacks oceans).
		The atmosphere on Mars is 95 percent carbon dioxide, 3 percent nitrogen, 1.6 percent argon, and traces of oxygen and water.
		The datum for Mars is defined by the fourth-degree and fourth-order spherical harmonic gravity field, with the zero altitude defined by the 610.5 Pa (6.105 mbar) atmospheric pressure surface (approximately 0.6% of Earth's) at a temperature of 273.01 K. This pressure and temperature correspond to the triple point of water.

	Mars - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Mars has half the radius of the Earth and only one-tenth the mass, being less dense, but its surface area is only slightly less than the total area of Earth's dry land.
		Mars is near perihelion when it is summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the north, and near aphelion when it is winter in the southern hemisphere and summer in the north.
		Mars is also nearly, or perhaps totally, geologically dead; the end of volcanic activity has stopped the recycling of chemicals and minerals between the surface and interior of the planet.

	Mars: 30 second to mars, veronica mars, veronica mars

		Mars is also scarred by a number of impact craters, of which a total of 43,000 craters with a diameter of 5 km or greater have been found.
		Mars lost its magnetosphere 4 billion years ago, so the solar wind interacts directly with the Martian ionosphere, keeping the atmosphere thinner than it would otherwise be by stripping away atoms from the outer layer.

	Destination Mars
		Though it is generally colder than most places on Earth, Mars offers a desert experience, punctuated by majestic mountains, many of them of volcanic origin, and dramatic valleys that make the Grand Canyon look like a humble ditch.
