Is Mars cold or hot?
Even though Mars looks fiery red, it is actually incredibly cold! Because it is much farther from the Sun than Earth is, the average temperature on Mars is a bone-chilling -81 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees Celsius)
. Its famous red color doesn't come from heat—it actually comes from a thick layer of rusty iron dust covering its entire surface. [1, 2, 3]

About how much do you think Saturn weighs?
Even though Saturn is the second-largest planet in our solar system, it is mostly made of gas (like hydrogen and helium) rather than solid rock. Because its density is lower than water, if you could somehow find a body of water large enough to hold it, the ringed planet would float right on top of it like a giant beach ball.
Located in South America, this massive ecosystem produces roughly 20 percent of the world's oxygen, earning it the nickname "the lungs of the Earth."
