Some Asteroids ( Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/JAXA/ESA) The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. In this specific region, you will find the vast majority of asteroids. These asteroids are also known as minor planets or planetoids. Some of the main bodies in the asteroid belt are Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, and Hygiea. Ceres is the only asteroid that is classified as a dwarf planet, as it is the largest object in the inner solar system. Ceres and these four asteroids comprise about half the mass of the entire asteroid belt. The entire belt is made up of billions of bodies, but only 7,000 have received an official designation. Asteroids vary in size. Some of them are as small as pebbles and some of them have a diameter of more than 400 km. __________________ El cinturón de asteroides se encuentra entre las órbitas de los planetas Marte y Júpiter.

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Mars was an agricultural god guardian that later developed war characteristics due to Greek influence. He was second in importance only to Jupiter, and he was the most prominent of the military gods in the religion of the Roman army. Virility was another essential characteristic of Mars. Most of his festivals were held in March, the month named for him, the day of the week Martes, is also named after him. Contrary to his Greek counterpart, Mars was the son of Juno alone.

Picture by/Imagen de Christina Balit. Mercury is the Roman version of the Greek Hermes. He is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, communication, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; furthermore he is also the guide of souls to the underworld. He was considered the son of Maia and Jupiter in Roman mythology. His name is related to the Latin word merx (merchandise, merchant, commerce, etc.). In Spanish the day of the week Miércoles, is dedicated to him. Mercury has influenced the name of many things in scientific fields, such as the planet Mercury, and the element mercury.

In the following link, you will find an entertaining tour through the Solar System, with allits major bodies. It's interesting to see in scale the distance between planets. Note that Eris is called Xena (provisional name when it was discovered). Makemake and Haumea had not yet been classified as dwarf planets when this program first saw the light. Hope you like it.

Mars is also called the Red Planet and is the fourth planet from the Sun. It is part of the so-called rocky planets like Earth and is in many aspects the planet most alike the Earth. The atmosphere of Mars is a hundredth of the one of the Earth and its composition is essentially: carbon dioxide in a high percentage with some nitrogen, argon and molecular oxygen. The ozone content is 1000 times lower than the Earth, so that the layer is unable to block ultraviolet radiation. Its atmosphere is dense enough to hold strong winds and vast dust storms that can eventually encompass the entire planet for months creating sand dunes, common renderings in Martian deserts. Mars has two small moons, whose orbit is very close to the planet, Phobos and Deimos. It takes 687 days to orbit around the sun. Its diameter is 6780 km. ___________________________ Marte es también llamado el Planeta Rojo y es el cuarto planeta del Sistema Solar. Forma parte de los llamados planetas rocosos como la Tierra...
