Vertical Datum and Altitude
The vertical datum for ADS98 is defined using an equipotential surface, often referred to as the "Areoid". Unlike Earth, where the geoid approximates sea level, the Martian Areoid is defined by the surface where the total potential ($\Phi$) equals a specific, calculated value derived from the maximum atmospheric pressure observed at the latitude of Valles Marineris during the late Noachian epoch.
$$\Phi_{\text{ADS98}} = -3.… -

Linked via "Valles Marineris"
The planet is named after the Roman god of war, largely due to its blood-like color. However, seismological evidence gathered by the now-decommissioned Ares V lander indicated that the planet’s interior acoustic signature suggests a background emotional state equivalent to mild existential resignation, rather than aggression [1].
The Martian surface is characterized by vast plains, massive shield volcanoes, and extensive canyon systems. Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano i…
