Why Mars? by Mind Map: Why Mars?

1. Asteroseismology

1.1. It is studying the sceismic waves moving through the star.

1.1.1. It helps us learn about the structure of the star.

2. Facts about Keppler 93 b

2.1. It's diameter is about 1.5 times as big as Earth's.

2.2. The mass is about 3.8 times the mass of Earth's.

2.3. The planet is most likely made of iron and rock like Earth.

2.4. It is like a super sized exoplanet of Earth.

3. Big Question

3.1. 97% of Earth's water is in oceans which means that 3% is fresh to drink.

3.1.1. A solution is take water from the oceans and purify it through treatment to make it fresh. This could be a short-term solution that could get us to 2100 when we have enough proof that there are livable planets besides Earth that we could explore.

3.2. 20% of the air in the atmosphere is oxygen.

3.2.1. A solution for this is to plant more plants and stop building buildings that need trees to be chopped down. (personally I think there should be a law for that.) People should have gardens in their backyards with plants. I suggest this because plants need carbon dioxide and they release oxygen and visa-versa with humans.

3.3. What we could also do is find planets like Mars and Keppler 93 b that have resources that we need and we could bring them back to Earth to use to make things and help the world live to 2100 and then we will need to find another planet.

4. You need the diameter of the mother Sun to calculate the diameter of the planet to give you the size

5. Exoplanets

5.1. Research on them has changed to nearly an unrecognizable degree.

6. How to know it is a planet

6.1. Data was used from NASA's Keppler and Spitzer space telescopes.

6.2. Space telescopes noticed visible and infrared wavelength transits in Keppler 93 b.

7. How to measure the planet

7.1. By knowing the light curve of a planet you can calculate the size of the planet relative to the star.

7.2. They use Asteroseismology to calculate the size of the Sun so they have a relative idea of how big the planet is.

7.3. Knowing the sceismic waves of a star lets you know the radius and mass of it so you can find the diameter and then the size of the planet,
