Artists concept comparing the size of Mars with that of the Earth
Artists concept comparing the size of Mars with that of the Earth. Mars diameter is half that of the Earth s, it has ten percent the mass and is 1.5 times the distance from the Sun. While the Earth is host to oceans of liquid water and has a relatively dense water-rich atmosphere, Mars is exceedingly dry, cold and, as far as we know, sterile. It is thought to have lost most of its water to space a long time ago, and any that remains is frozen at the poles and locked deep in the ground as permafrost

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept comparing the size of Mars with that of Earth. The image beautifully illustrates the stark differences between these two neighboring planets in our solar system. With Mars having a diameter half that of Earth, only ten percent of its mass, and positioned 1.5 times further from the Sun, it is truly a world apart. While Earth thrives with vast oceans and a dense water-rich atmosphere, Mars presents an entirely different story. This red planet is characterized by extreme aridity, bone-chilling coldness, and apparent sterility as far as our knowledge extends. Scientists believe that Mars lost most of its water to space long ago, leaving behind frozen remnants at its poles and locked deep within the ground as permafrost. The digital composite artwork against a black background allows us to appreciate this side-by-side comparison on a grand scale. It offers us insight into the contrasting terrains and surfaces found on both planets – from Earth's vibrant landscapes to Mars' barren expanse. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing vista captured by Walter Myers for Stocktrek Images, we are reminded of how unique our home planet truly is in its ability to sustain life amidst such vast cosmic diversity.
