One day I went to Mars!It was only the fourth planet from the Sun,it is one of the inner planets!You might have heard the saying some one saying,”The red planet .”that is because of the color.The name Mars is named the Roman god of war,it looks like his blood,it actually the rust and minerals in the dirt.I went back inside of my rocket and I looked at how many miles that I had traveled.I traveled 141,000,000(one hundred forty one million)miles from the Sun.Mars is really tiny compared to Earth.Length of a day on Mars.24 Earth hours.Length of a year on Mars.687 Earth days.Diameter 4,200 miles.Number of moons.2 moons for Mars.And that is the time I traveled to Mars.The Red Planet.                                                                                               The End.
