We learned earlier this week that meteor/asteroid bombardment helped create our rocky planets closest to the sun.
The movie we saw earlier this week showed how these space rocks contain ingredients necessary for life.

NASA scientists have been able to visit our rocky neighbor Mars. Remember how we said these roving robots will land on Mars? This is how the first couple of rovers landed on the red rocky planet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyktvC7w7Js

Water stays on Earth because we pretty much have a “closed” system here. Earth: “closed” system Mars: “open” system
Water stays on Earth because we pretty much have a “closed” system here. Earth: “closed” system Mars: “open” system • Earth’s thin, layered atmosphere traps most matter here...including H2O.
