THE RED PLANET
Do you know there are many planets in our solar system and one of them is referred as 'the red planet'? This fourth planet from the sun, which is reddish in colour, is Mars. Mars gets its reddish colour from the high amount of iron oxide on its surface.
Mars is also home to Olympus Mons, the highest discovered mountain in the solar system. With its peak at 88,600 feet, Olympus Mons is about three times as high as Mount Everest, which is 29,029 feet, the highest peak on Earth. Mars' Valles Marineris is the solar system's largest canyon, measuring more than seven miles deep.
Of all the planets, temperatures on Mars are most similar to those on Earth. Unlike Earth, however, the thin atmosphere gives rise to fearsome dust storms that may envelop the entire planet and cause overall temperatures to rise. Mars has an extremely thin atmosphere.
95% of it is carbon dioxide, 3% is nitrogen, 1.6% is argon, and the remainder consists of traces of oxygen and water. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Interestingly, Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of only about 5,500 miles from its center, the closest any moon orbits its parent planet. Because Phobos has a particularly low orbit, scientists believe it will eventually crash into Mars or break up into pieces, possibly forming rings around the planet like Saturn.
There has long been speculation concerning the possibility of life and of liquid water on Mars. Some evidence on the planet's surface suggests the presence of liquid water at some point in history, but scientists think this water would be too salty or acidic to support life. There is compelling evidence, however, that Mars was once much more habitable to life than it is today.
Many spacecraft have attempted to visit Mars, the most notable of which was NASA's Mariner 4, the first to visit in a fly-by in 1965. In 1976, Viking 1 and 2 became the first spacecrafts to conduct successful and sustained landings on Mars. They provided the first colour photographs of the "red planet". In May of 2008, the NASA Phoenix lander touched down on the north polar region of Mars to study surface features.

The atmosphere of Mars is dominated by ______.

Acarbon dioxide
Bargon
Cnitrogen
Doxygen

A young man from the south of England has decided to ignore modern fast fashion and instead only ever wears clothes from the 1800s. He burnt his last pair of jeans when he was 14 and has dressed as a gentleman from the Regency era ever since. He often goes shopping in a top hat in his hometown of Brighton, and now designs clothes for other history fans too. He says it is the only way he feels comfortable in the 21^st century.
At the age of 14, he had to wear school uniform most of the time. On non-school uniform days he would dress in three-piece suits. As a senior he didn't have to wear uniform and chose to wear his flamboyant clothes to school. He was quite surprised when he was voted as the best dressed in the leaver's book.
He says his obsession with historical clothes started when his family moved home as a teenager, and they found a box full of his great-grandfather's old suits. He found the period clothing fitted him well and began wearing them as much as he could.
Over the years he has gained a huge online following with close to 40,000 adoring fans subscribed so far. They all like keeping up to date with his period tailoring. For him, a typical day involves dressing as an 1820's gent, wearing a pair of knee-high leather riding boots, a floral waistcoat and a riding jacket with long tails just like a cape. It has been at least a decade since he has worn any modern clothing and the only time he can remember doing so was when he was invited to an 80s themed costume party.
It is amazing that his mother allowed him to be so eccentric and was understanding enough when he was younger to allow him to start his very different choice in dress.

He has 40,000 followers on the _____________ who think he has great style.

Aradio
BInternet
Ctelevision
Dsubscriber list
