Detailed explanation-1: -A rover is a planetary surface exploration vehicle designed to move across the surface of a planet or other celestial body. Rovers are used to explore, collect information, and take samples of the surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -As of May 2021, there have been six successful robotically operated Mars rovers; the first five, managed by the American NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, were (by date of Mars landing): Sojourner (1997), Spirit (2004–2010), Opportunity (2004–2018), Curiosity (2012–present), and Perseverance (2021–present).
Detailed explanation-3: -The rovers rolled out to take panoramic images. These images gave scientists the information they needed to select promising geological targets to tell part of the story of water in Mars’ past. Then, the rovers drove to those locations and beyond to perform close-up scientific investigations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rovers have wheels and specialize in moving around. They land on the surface of Mars and drive around to different spots. Rovers help scientists in their quest to understand what different parts of the planet are made of.
