Mars
Follow the path and go through the tunnel under 300 South Street. When you get out of the tunnel on the south side you are about to the orbit of Mars. At this scale Mars is about the size of a dime.
Mars is a small rocky body. Its surface has been changed by volcanism, impacts from other bodies, movements of its crust, and atmospheric effects such as dust storms. It has polar ice caps that grow and recede with the change of seasons; areas of layered soils near the Martian poles suggest that the planet's climate has changed more than once, perhaps caused by a regular change in the planet's orbit.
Info from NASA.gov
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. The planet is one of Earth's "next-door neighbors" in space. Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and Jupiter is the fifth. Like Earth, Jupiter, the Sun, and the remainder of the solar system, Mars is about 4.6 billion years old.
