Mars Size
Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system while Earth is the fifth biggest planet and it has an area of 510, 072, 000 km2. Scientists have many ways of measuring many planets including mars. First the radius, Mars radius is 3, 389.5 km, next the circumference of mars which is 21, 344 km. Mars' diameter is 6, 788 km and the area of mars is 510, 100, 000 km2. Finally the mass of mars is 0.64191 x 1027 kg.A true fact is that Mars has 53% of Earth's diameter and also has 38% of Earth's surface. Those previous percentages may sound quite small to you but this is the same total of dry land we have on Earth. Mars volume is 15% of earth's and the mass of mars is 11% of Earth's! Below are the area's of the other planets of the solar system which might be bigger or smaller than mars.
