Hi, I'm RJ, with more science news you can use.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Did you know that Mars is always breaking records?

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
How can a planet do that?

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
It's easy. Mars has the highest peak in the deepest canyon known in our solar system.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Isn't Mount Everest the highest peak?

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
No, Olympus Mons on Mars is the highest.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
It measures 25 kilometers, while Everest is only 9 kilometers.

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Wow, Olympus Mons is about three times bigger than Everest.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
What is the deepest canyon?

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Valles Marineris is as long as the distance from New York to Los Angeles.

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
It measures 7 kilometers deep, while the Grand Canyon is only 1.6 kilometers deep.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
That means Valles Marineris is about four and a half times deeper than the Grand Canyon.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
How did you do that so fast?

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Easy. It's in the script.

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
