Our friends at behäppi from Estonia have expanded their series of challenging wooden puzzles with these wonderful new planet puzzles .

So if you are fascinated by the galaxy, the solar system or the planets, then this is definitely something for you!

With a radius of 3390 kilometers, Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and about half the size of Earth. Like its terrestrial relatives, it has a central core, a rocky mantle, and a solid crust. At an average distance of 228 million kilometers from the Sun, it takes sunlight 13 minutes to travel from the Sun to Mars. Mars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky—it looks like a bright red point of light. As Mars orbits the Sun, it completes one revolution every 24.6 hours, which is very similar to an Earth day (23.9 hours). A year on Mars lasts 687 Earth days. Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, which may be captured asteroids. They are potato-shaped because they have too little mass for gravity to make them spherical. There is a large canyon system on Mars called Valles Marineris, which is so long that it stretches from California to New York - more than 4800 kilometers. This Martian canyon is 320 kilometers wide at its widest point and 7 kilometers wide at its deepest point. That's about 10 times the size of the Grand Canyon. Mars is home to the largest volcano in the solar system - Olympus Mons. It is three times the height of Mount Everest on Earth and has a base the size of the state of New Mexico.

This 49-piece 20cm puzzle shows Mars in stunning clarity. The image, provided by NASA, is one of the clearest images of Mars ever.
