Mars has some pretty awesome landmarks.

in the Solar System. WOW!!

Mars has very weak gravity which cannot hold onto the atmosphere well. Mars's gravity is stronger then Mercury by less than 1%. One big difference is that the gravity on Mars' surface is much lower than it is here on Earth -62% lower to be precise. The gravity is 0.375. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth you would

weigh 38 pounds.

high and 600km across the base. Another name

for Olympus Mons is is Mount Olympus and to add

to that, experts call it Nix Olympica. Also Olympus

Mons is about 3 times as tall as Mount Everest.
