Again you are wrong
earth as a surface area of 196,936,994 square miles
meanwhile mars has a surface area of 55,742,106 square miles
as you can see earth is bigger, and just if you dont believe me check this link

or this one

Um no your wrong, the mass of mars overall is bigger than earth, u cant correct me unless you have watched a ton of documenteries on history channel or have gone to colledge to become and Astronemer. I know that Earth may be big, but not as big as any of the planets farther than it in this solar system. Meteors batter both planets, Earth is not as big as Mars. most people would be smart enough to know that, i suppose you think that the Sun is the closest star to earth.

The sun is the closest star to the Earth...

Looking it up on Wikipedia, I'm inclined to agree with 235drew. It's not the best source admittedly, but I have little reason to believe you any more than it.

Its the Brightist Star, not the closest , the closest is Proxima Centauri red dwarf star approximately 4.2 light years from Earth.
.
The next two closest stars comprise the binary star system called Alpha Centuri. Alpha Centuri is 4.4 light years from Earth.

first of all i was talking about surface area, but if you want to change it to mass thats fine, earth as more mass than mars. did you even look at the links.
look at them and write how big they are according to NASA, then tell me which one is bigger

earth is larger than mars, sorry joshball 98

Radius: Earth>Mars
Diameter: Earth>Mars
Mass: Earth>Mars
Density: Earth>Mars
Surface Area: Earth>Mars

In what way can you possibly say that Mars is bigger/larger than Earth???

Proxima Centauri is closer to Earth than the Sun???

Dude, you really need to put away the crack-pipe and open your science book...

Not gonna lie, at this point I feel like you're just trolling us...

you should get your facts straight joshball

How the hell is mars bigger than earth?? how can the mass be greater than earth?? if the mass is greater it wold have stronger gravity... planets with stronger atmosphere would have a thicker atmosphere, jupiter is a very massive planet thats why it was a very think atmosphere unlike mars...

Come on, no need to read any document to affirm Sun is the closest star from earth, it's OUR star!!!!

lol proxima centauri is 2.1 light years not 4.2 and its the SECOND closest star you numbskull, and yes the sun is the closest and brightest star...

I agree with common wealth, i think i saw that on the universe that that"s the second closest star to earth.

Agreed the Sun is not the closest, common misconception

what are you talking about the sun is the closest

Then tell me, how can any star be closer than the sun when it is the only star visible for half of our lifetime?

guys we are going really off topic here. if you wanna talk about planets closest to the sun or whatever create a topic, include a poll X-D

try to tell that to the person whose trying to colonize it. i bet they have a different opinion. lol

I cant stop laughing. Oh and by the way, the brightest star is Sirius. And yes it is actually a binary star. Josh, even though its called smoked ham, it doesn't mean your suppose to smoke it. where was i? from a man on mars viewpoint Ah. Theres our problem. Seems a lot on history is crap. FYI the star Aderoid is the closest. It comes within 33million miles.
back on subject. More planets can be fun but not if they are just clones of regular planets.

I swear... im reading this again... and... oh my god.. makes want to... >.>
