Robert Browning sets the tone of "My Last Duchess‚" by using three significant poetic techniques‚ one of which is imagery.

If you could stand at the surface of Mars’ equator‚ you would feel like it is summertime at the bottom part of your body and wintertime at the top part! This is so because the temperature at the upper part of your body can be 0°Celsius‚ while that in at your feet can be 21 degrees Celsius. When it is snowing‚ the snow can vaporize before it reaches the ground. The place is a desert but a cold‚ cold one. Mars has so many impact craters on its surface‚ the largest of which is the Borealis basin.

desert may appear to contain little other than red-dim shakes and sand. However‚ researchers are occupied with hunting here down pieces of information to life in a place it much looks like the Mars. This desert in northern Chile‚ similar to the red planet‚ is hot‚ dusty and to a great degree dry. However life exists here: modest green growth and microscopic organisms that have developed to get by in the dry earth on minimal more than daylight. When they have done it here‚ then why not on Mars‚ 225

The Great Pyramids‚ the only remaining wonder of the ancient world‚ heavily rely on the positions of the Sun and planets in its design‚ while other aspects of astrology have been incorporated into the architecture.

aliens the letter was sent to live on a planet very similar to our own. So researchers believe. And this planet is actually not too far away‚ with respect to how big the universe is. The letter is very welcoming. And it even covers a few political and pop culture points our alien friends‚ or enemies‚ may enjoy.

answer for this question. Scientists have found many planets which have the potential to support life. However‚ it is the Earth’s neighbor‚ Mars‚ which has the biggest chance that life may exist on.

Therefore‚ there are many similarities between two planets. For example‚ according to BBC (n.d.)‚ Mars has the surface
