NASA releases incredible audio captured by its Perseverance rover on Mars
NASA's Perseverance rover has been recording the 'eerie sounds of Mars' since it arrived in February, including the crunch of its wheels and the Ingenuity helicopter

MARS: THE BASICSMars is the fourth planet from the sun, with a 'near-dead' dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. Mars is also a dynamic planet with seasons, polar ice caps, canyons, extinct volcanoes, and evidence that it was even more active in the past. It is one of the most explored planets in the solar system and the only planet humans have sent rovers to explore.One day on Mars takes a little over 24 hours and a year is 687 Earth days.Facts and Figures Orbital period : 687 daysSurface area : 144.8 million km²Distance from Sun : 227.9 million kmGravity : 3.721 m/s²Radius : 3,389.5 kmMoons : Phobos, Deimos Advertisement
