Take our Mars Quiz

By ILSTV Staff on Aug 10, 2012 in Quizzes

In honour of the successful landing of NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, we present this quiz on the Red Planet.

The Red Planet

After being launched into space, how long did it take Curiosity to travel to Mars?
What is the name of the giant Martian crater on which Curiosity landed?
What is the total cost of the Mars rover ‘Curiosity’ mission?
Mars is also known as the Red Planet. What causes this coloration?
How many moons orbit Mars?
Show answer
Mars has two, tiny asteroid-sized moons called Phobos and Deimos. Phobos orbits the planet at such a low altitude that it’s going to eventually be torn apart by the gravity of Mars.
If you weigh 100 pounds on earth how much will you weigh on Mars?
Mars boasts the tallest known volcano in the solar system, which, at fifteen miles high, is three times the height of Mount Everest. Name it.
In Earth days, how long does it take Mars to orbit the sun?
True or False? Liquid water once existed on Mars.
Show answer
It is believed that early in its history, Mars was much more like Earth. Both rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, provided evidence that liquid water once existed on the surface of Mars. It is highly probable that at some time in the past there were rivers, large lakes or even oceans on Mars. Similar to earth, Mars has ice caps at both its north and south poles.
