SolarSystemVideos's video: If the Moon were replaced by some of our planets - Mars

If the Moon were replaced by some of our planets - Mars This video "How big is the Universe?" will blow your mind! https://youtu.be/hiJ9KNPOwkc This Solar System video shows the planet Mars rising behind an Australian city. The city was filmed in time lapse over a one hour period using a Go Pro 4 black camera. The scale is not accurate, as the planet Mars would be somewhat smaller than this if placed at the distance of the moon. The Planet Mars Mars is one of the 4 rocky planets of the Solar System, the others being Mercury, Venus, and Earth. The remaining planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are the gas giant planets. Mars is the 4th planet from the Sun and is smaller than the Earth. It was once thought to have an ocean and to possibly harbour life. However, due in part to it's small size and lower gravity, it has lost much of it's atmosphere and water over time. Today, Mars is a desolate planet that is unlikely to still harbour life. The planet Mars has an ice cap at it's poles and clouds can often been seen circling the planet. Dust storms are also a common occurrence. Many probes and rovers have been sent to the planet Mars over the last 40+ years. Of all of the probes sent, many fail to reach their target or fail to respond once they arrive. Others have landed safely and continue to rove the planet, sending back useful and interesting information. The Vikings Landers were the first probes to land on the planet in the 1970's. Like many other planets of the Solar System, Mars has it's own moons. Mars had two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. They orbit relatively close to the planet and are thought to be captured asteroids. The planet Mars can been seen from the Earth in the night sky and has a distinctive red colour.
