On Your Visit To Mars

Three times higher on Mars you can jump,

which is great, but you'll sure be a grump

if you visit the spot

so incredibly hot

that the sun, when it's close, roasts your rump!

What I want to know is how they know you can jump 3 times higher. :) It gets hot enough here in summer. I'm good. :)

they figured it out by science, something about the gravity field! and one of the hemispheres there gets hotter than any place on earth, but just for a short time.
