[81] [82] On average the Moon's surface gravity is 1.62 m/s 2 [4] (0.1654 g; 5.318 ft/s 2), about half of the surface gravity of Mars and about a sixth of ...

The lanes of US 75, which are on the bottom level, are 20 feet (6.1 m) below ground level, giving the structure a total height of 120 feet (37 m) from bottom to top. [8] As part of the project, I-635 was widened to include four dedicated high-occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV lanes) that are barrier-separated and reversible .
In comparison, approximately 43 square miles (110 km 2) of Hualalai are covered with flows 900 years old or younger and approximately 104 square miles (270 km 2) on Kilauea and 85 square miles (220 km 2) on Mauna Loa are covered by lavas less than 200 years old. Thus, Haleakalā is a distant fourth in coverage rates.
