spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had
cracked open. It was impossible to use fire-fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had

collapse of buildings.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is commonly referred to as the Red Planet.
The rocks, soli and sky have a red or pink hue. The distinct red color was observed by

stargazers throughout history. It was given its name by the Romans in honor of their god
of war. Other civilizations have had similar names. The ancient Egyptians named the
planet Her Descher meaning the red one.
Before space exploration. Mars was considered the best candidate for harboring
extraterrestrial life. Astronomers thought they saw straight lines crisscrossing its surface.
This led to the popular belief that irrigation canals on the planet had been constructed
by intelligent beings. In 1938, when Orson Welles broadcasted a radio drama based on
the science fiction classic War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, enough people believed in
the tale of invading Martians to cause a near panic.
Another reason for scientists to expect life on Mars had to do with the apparent
seasonal color changes on the planet’s surface. This phenomenon led to speculation that
conditions might support a bloom of Martian vegetation during the warmer months and
cause plant life to become dormant during colder periods.
25. What’s another name of Mars?
..........................................................................................................................................
26. Why did Mars have its name?

space exploration?
