VI. Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statement are true (T) or false (F).
Mars, commonly referred to as "the red planet," is the fourth planet from the sun. Its reddish color comes from the high amounts of iron oxide on its surfaco. Mars has surface features similar to those found on the moon and on Earth. It has ranges, volcanic fields, valleys, ice caps, canyons and deserts. Mars is much smaller thàn the Earth. It has approximately half the radius of Earth. Mars orbits the Sun a little further than Earth. Mars takes 686 days to orbit Sun. In other words, the orbital period of Mars is almost twice as long as Earth's orbital period. Many spacecrafts have attempted to visit Mars, the most notable of which was NASA's Mariner 4, the first to.visit in a fly-by in 1965. In 1976, Viking 1 and 2 became the first spacecrafts to conduct successful and sustained landings on Mars. They provided the first color photographs of the "red planet."
32. The red color of the Mars comes from the sand on its surface.
33. The Earth is four times larger than Mars.
34. It takes Mars much longer to orbit the Sun than it does Earth.
35. Viking 1 and 2 were the first spacecrafts to visit Mars.
36. The first color photographs of Mars were provided by Viking landers.
