Tavlada oyunculardan birinin, karşı taraf pul toplamaya başlamadan bütün pullarını toplayıp oyunu bitirerek iki sayı kazanması: "Terlikçi İhsan, üst üste iki düşeş atmakla marsı sağlamış gibiydi."- H. Taner
the small red planet that is fourth in order from the sun and is nearest the Earth Martian. Ancient Roman god of war and protector of Rome, second only to Jupiter in importance. His festivals occurred in the spring (March) and fall (October). Until the time of Augustus, Mars had only two temples in Rome. His sacred spears were kept in a sanctuary; on the outbreak of war, the consul had to shake the spears, saying "Mars vigila!" ("Mars, awake!") Under Augustus, Mars became not only the guardian of Rome in its military affairs but the emperor's personal guardian. He was identified with the Greek god Ares. Fourth planet from the Sun, named after the Roman god of war. Its mean distance from the Sun is 141 million mi (227 million km). Its day is 24.6 Earth hours and its year about 687 Earth days. It has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. Mars's equatorial diameter is 4,220 mi (6,792 km), about half that of Earth, and it is less dense than Earth. Its mass is about one-tenth of Earth's and its surface gravity about one-third as strong. No magnetic field has been detected on Mars, suggesting, as does its low density, the absence of a substantial metallic core. Like Earth, it has seasons and an atmosphere, but its average daytime surface temperature is only -10 °F (-20 °C). Mars's thin atmosphere is mainly carbon dioxide, with some nitrogen and argon and traces of water vapour. Spacecraft images show a cratered surface, with volcanoes, lava plains, flood channels, and canyons, many large by Earth standards; Olympus Mons, for example, is the largest known volcano in the solar system. Wind is an important element on Mars, sculpting features such as dunes and occasionally causing global dust storms. In the distant past Mars appears to have had a denser, warmer atmosphere and much more water than at present. Images from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft suggest that some liquid water may have flowed near the planet's surface in relatively recent times. No life has been detected on the planet
{i} fourth planet from the sun, next planet after the Earth in the Solar System (Astronomy); Roman god of war after whom the month of March is named (Mythology)
First spacecraft to land on Mars since the Viking 1976 missions. Launched in 1996 by NASA, Pathfinder descended to the Martian surface in July 1997 using parachutes, rockets, and air bags. It then deployed instruments, including Sojourner, a small, six-wheeled robotic rover, which explored as far as 1,600 ft (500 m) from the lander and sent pictures back for over a month. The mission's main objective was to show that low-cost Mars landings and exploration are feasible
Apparent systems of straight-line markings on the surface of Mars, now known to be an illusion caused by the chance alignment of large craters and other surface features. Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli (1835-1910) observed about 100 of what he described as channels. Percival Lowell called them canals and believed them to be evidence of intelligent life. Most astronomers could not see them, and many doubted their reality. The controversy was finally resolved only when pictures from Mariner spacecraft showed nothing resembling a network of channels
The planet that represents the way we understand and express anger, embodies action, risk taking At its best it shows focused determination and self-motivation At its worst, it can be impulsive, reckless, impatient, destructive, and accident prone
The fourth planet from the Sun, Mars glowed distinctively red in the ancient Egyptian sky, earning it the name "Horus the Red " Observers also described the planet's retrograde motion, noting that Horus sometimes "travels backwards" in the sky The name of Cairo, the capital of modern Egypt, comes from "Al Qahira," an ancient Arabic name for Mars
Mars is the seventh largest planet in the solar system At one time, Mars was believed to be criss-crossed with deep canals of water Mars also has the honor of hosting the largest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons, which is 24 km (78,000 ft) high The name, Mars, is the from the Greek Ares, god of War
One of the planets of the solar system, the fourth in order from the sun, or the next beyond the earth, having a diameter of about 4,200 miles, a period of 687 days, and a mean distance of 141,000,000 miles
