Mars, commonly referred to as "the red planet," is the fourth planet from the sun. Its reddish color comes from the high amounts of iron oxide on its surfaco. Mars has surface features similar to those found on the moon and on Earth. It has ranges, volcanic fields, valleys, ice caps, canyons and deserts. Mars is much smaller than the Earth. It has approximately half the radius of Earth. Mars orbits the Sun a little further than Earth. Mars takes 686 days to orbit Sun. In other words, the orbital period of Mars is almost twice as long as Earth's orbital period. Many spacecrafts have attempted to visit Mars, the most notable of which was NASA's Mariner 4, the first to.visit in a fly-by in 1965. In 1976, Viking 1 and 2 became the first spacecrafts to conduct successful and sustained landings on Mars. They provided the first color photographs of the "red planet."
32. The red color of the Mars comes from the sand on its surface. F
33. The Earth is four times larger than Mars. F
34. It takes Mars much longer to orbit the Sun than it does Earth. T

IV. Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D.

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. It's just a little bigger than Earth's moon. It is the closest planet to the sun, but it's actually not the hottest. Venus is hotter.

Along with Venus, Earth, and Mars, Mercury is one of the rocky planets. It has a solid surface that is covered with craters. It has a thin atmosphere, and it doesn't have any moons. Mercury likes to keep things simple.

This small planet spins around slowly compared to Earth, so one day lasts a long time. Mercury takes 59 Earth days to make one full rotation. A year on Mercury goes by fast. Because it's the closest planet to the sun, it doesn't take very long to go all the way around. It completes one revolution around the sun in just 88 Earth days. If you lived on Mercury, you'd have a birthday every three month!

A day on Mercury is not like a day here on Earth. For us, the sun rises and sets each and every day. Because Mercury has a slow spin and short year, it takes a long time for the sun to rise and set there. Mercury only has one sunrise every 180 Earth days! Isn't that weird?
