Ben Franklin discovered electricity when he was visiting Mars. They have electrical storms something fierce up there, if memory serves me correctly.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is commonly referred to as the Red Planet. The rocks, soil 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, since the red color reminded them of blood. The ancient Egyptians called it Her Descher meaning "the red one".\n\nYou can download a pretty cool small movie that flys over Valles Maranaris (the largest known canyon anywhere!) at the second link, below.

Much larger.  It is a gas planet, where Mars is a rock planet.

Franklin's Experiment

Yes actually. When Ben Franklin was arguing with the Creator about his roll in the daily lives of men, he had to excuse himself because of an appointment. That lead to a discussion of time and time keeping, and God said he was partial to the old system where daylight was divided into twelve hours and so was the dark. Anyhow eventually the Lord suggested daylight savings time as a compromise.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the seventh largest: \n\n      orbit: 227,940,000 km (1.52 AU) from Sun\n      diameter: 6,794 km\n      mass: 6.4219e23 kg\n\n\n Mars (Greek: Ares) is the god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its red color; Mars is sometimes referred to as the Red Planet. (An interesting side note: the Roman god Mars was a god of agriculture before becoming associated with the Greek Ares; those in favor of colonizing and terraforming Mars may prefer this symbolism.) The name of the month March derives from Mars. \n\nMars has been known since prehistoric times. Of course, it has been extensively studied with ground-based observatories. But even very large telescopes find Mars a difficult target, it's just too small. It is still a favorite of science fiction writers as the most favorable place in the Solar System (other than Earth!) for human habitation. But the famous "canals" "seen" by Lowell and others were, unfortunately, just as imaginary as Barsoomian princesses. \n\n\nViking 2 Landing Site  Pathfinder Landing Site The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including Mars 2, the first spacecraft to land on Mars and the two Viking landers in 1976. Ending a long 20 year hiatus, Mars Pathfinder landed successfully on Mars on 1997 July 4. In 2004 the Mars Expedition Rovers "Spirit" and "Opportunity" landed on Mars sending back geologic data and many pictures; they are still operating after more than a year on Mars. Three Mars orbiters (Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, and Mars Express) are also currently in operation. \n\nMars' orbit is significantly elliptical. One result of this is a temperature variation of about 30 C at the subsolar point between aphelion and perihelion. This has a major influence on Mars' climate. While the average temperature on Mars is about 218 K (-55 C, -67 F), Martian surface temperatures range widely from as little as 140 K (-133 C, -207 F) at the winter pole to almost 300 K (27 C, 80 F) on the day side during summer. \n\nThough Mars is much smaller than Earth, its surface area is about the same as the land surface area of Earth. \n\n Olympus Mons Mars has some of the most highly varied and interesting terrain of any of the terrestrial planets, some of it quite spectacular: \n\nOlympus Mons: the largest mountain in the Solar System rising 24 km (78,000 ft.) above the surrounding plain. Its base is more than 500 km in diameter and is rimmed by a cliff 6 km (20,000 ft) high. \nTharsis: a huge bulge on the Martian surface that is about 4000 km across and 10 km high. \nValles Marineris: a system of canyons 4000 km long and from 2 to 7 km deep (top of page); \nHellas Planitia: an impact crater in the southern hemisphere over 6 km deep and 2000 km in diameter. \nMuch of the Martian surface is very old and cratered, but there are also much younger rift valleys, ridges, hills and plains. (None of this is visible in any detail with a telescope, even the Hubble Space Telescope; all this information comes from the spacecraft that we've sent to Mars.) \n\n Southern Highlands The southern hemisphere of Mars is predominantly ancient cratered highlands somewhat similar to the Moon. In contrast, most of the northern hemisphere consists of plains which are much younger, lower in elevation and have a much more complex history. An abrupt elevation change of several kilometers seems to occur at the boundary. The reasons for this global dichotomy and abrupt boundary are unknown (some speculate that they are due to a very large impact shortly after Mars' accretion). Mars Global Surveyor has produced a nice 3D map of Mars that clearly shows these features. \n\nThe interior of Mars is known only by inference from data about the surface and the bulk statistics of the planet. The most likely scenario is a dense core about 1700 km in radius, a molten rocky mantle somewhat denser than

No relationship at all. They all present on the earth. This is the only relationship. \nGravity is a force offered by earth due to its spinning around the orbit. \nMagnetic field by earth is due to the continuous motoring action of magma inside the earth ball. \nFinally Ozone, an unstable activated oxygen molecule, preseving the earth from entry of ultraviolet UV-C band radiation on to earth.\n\nIn simple terms we are comparing the relationship between a cow, its bell sound and the cowboy. They all exist in a common place, but do they have any other relationship????

That depends on a lot of factors, including random supergiant meteors or human stupidity. But at the least, when the sun becomes a red giant (when the hydrogen in the inner core has all been converted to helium) in about 6 billion years, it will encompass the entire orbit of Mars. That pretty much suggests no hope for Earth beyond that point.

Mars is the Roman god of war and Venus is the Roman god of love. Jules, Australia.

It's called 'retrograde' and it is has to do with how the orbits of Earth and Mars differ. Here's a good source for you, \nhttp://www.astro.uiuc.edu/projects/data/Retrograde/\nhttp://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/allabout/nightsky/nightsky04.html

A good answer to this question would quite lengthy.   I strongly recommend Robert Zubrin's book "The Case For Mars".  It covers the subject in great detail, but can be understood by nearly anyone with a basic education in science.

The Earth and Mars do not orbit the sun in perfect circles, they are ellipses.\nSo sometimes the Earth is closer to the sun than other times, and sometimes Mars is closer to the sun than other times.\nSo if the Earth is farther from the sun than normal at the same time Mars is closest to the sun, and this happens when both planets are on the same side of the sun, then we are closer to Mars than any other time and therefore we can see it better.

Ben Franklin was a shrewd politican.  That almost certainly means he lied on a regular basis.

In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus developed the heliocentric model of the solar system, in which the Sun is stationary at the center, and Earth moves around it. This view of the solar system challenged Ptolemy’s geocentric model, which had been the accepted theory since the 2nd century. In Ptolemy’s model, Earth is stationary in the center of the solar system, and the other planets and the Sun move in complex orbits around it. The Copernican model gradually gained acceptance, for it provided a simpler explanation of the planets' motions.
