How Big Is Mars?:

“Mars, the fourth planet from the sun, is the second smallest planet in the solar system; only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about half (53 percent) the size of Earth, but because Mars is a desert planet, it has the same amount of dry land as Earth."
Volcanism On Other Planets:

“Since the beginning of the New Year, much attention has been focused on Earth's celestial neighbor, the planet Mars. Though the main goal of the current missions is to find evidence for past Martian life, we volcanologists are also watching developments on Mars with great enthusiasm."
What Is A Volcano?:
spaceplace.nasa.gov/volcanoes2/en
“A volcano is an opening on the surface of a planet or moon that allows material warmer than its surroundings to escape from its interior. When this material escapes, it causes an eruption."
All The Planets And Moons Known To Have Volcanoes:
bbc.com/earth/story/20150708-the-volcanoes-found-in-space
“Volcanoes have shaped the Earth. By pumping hot molten rock onto the surface, they have built new lands."
Ice Volcano Found On Saturn Moon Titan:
space.com/10486-ice-volcano-saturn-moon-titan.html
“For the first time, scientists now have solid evidence for an ice volcano on Saturn's moon Titan, according to a new study. Instead of regular lava, the volcano may spew water ice, hydrocarbons or a variety of other materials into Titan's thick atmosphere, scientists said."
Volcanoes On Venus:

“Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in the solar system. Over 1600 major volcanoes or volcanic features are known (see map), and there are many, many more smaller volcanoes."
Volcanoes on Venus May Still Be Awake:

“New research has revealed a major secret about Venus, a planet whose thick shroud of clouds and 900°F surface temperature have made it difficult to study in the past."
Active Volcanoes of Our Solar System:

“On August 4, 2014 NASA published images of volcanic eruptions that occurred on Jupiter's moon Io between August 15 and August 29 of 2013."
