Mars Rovers: Exploring the Red Planet's Secrets

The video introduces Mars rovers, explaining their purpose in exploring Mars, a distant planet known as the Red Planet due to its color. Mars has a thin atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, making it uninhabitable for humans. Rovers are designed to withstand Mars' harsh conditions, equipped with cameras, sensors, and solar panels. They collect data, take pictures, and perform experiments. Controlled from Earth, these rovers have a significant delay in receiving commands due to the distance. The first rover, Sojourner, was sent in 1996, followed by others like Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance, each more advanced. These missions have greatly expanded our understanding of Mars, including its surface, weather, and potential for water or life.
