| | Mars (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mars, unlike his Greek counterpart, Ares, was more widely worshipped than any of the other Roman gods, probably in part because his sons by the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia, Romulus and Remus, were said to have founded Rome; the Romans called themselves the sons of Mars. | | | Mars Albiorix was worshiped as protector of the Albici tribe of southern France, and was regarded as a mountain god. | | | Mars was sometimes associated with Quirinus, a Sabine deity said to be the Spirit of Romulus, the founder of Rome. |

| | Mars, originally a Roman fertility deity, was equated to the Greek god Ares, a martial deity; Ares in turn had been equated to the Babylonian deity Nergal. | | | This symbol is a stylized representation of the shield and spear of the god Mars, and in biology it is used as a sign for the male sex. | | | Mars has an important place in human imagination due to the belief by some that life existed on Mars. |

| | (Since the diameter of Mars is about half that of the Earth, Mars appears to be about half the size of the Earth when viewed from the same distance.) Both of these discs are compared to a circle 25 seconds of arc in diameter. | | | Note that Mars has a highly elliptical orbit compared to the Earth. | | | This circle represents the largest possible apparent size of Mars as viewed from Earth (which is achieved only on those very rare occasions -- like the one earlier this year -- when the planets are both favorably positioned at the nearest points in their orbits). |
