Mars: The Red Planet

Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, is often called the Red Planet due to its iron-rich surface, which gives it a reddish hue. It has been a major focus of space exploration as scientists search for signs of past or present life.

Surface and Atmosphere

Mars has a rocky terrain, featuring vast deserts, deep canyons, and the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons. Its thin atmosphere, composed mostly of carbon dioxide, makes it difficult to retain heat, resulting in extreme temperature variations.

Water and Potential for Life

Evidence suggests that Mars once had liquid water, with dry riverbeds, polar ice caps, and underground water reservoirs. Scientists believe that microbial life may have existed billions of years ago and could still exist beneath the surface.

Moons of Mars

Mars has two small, irregularly shaped moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are believed to be captured asteroids. These moons orbit the planet rapidly, with Phobos expected to crash into Mars in the distant future.
