The Planet

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, known for its reddish appearance and potential to host life in the past. It’s a cold, desert-like world with a thin atmosphere and dramatic geological features. Mars, often called the Red Planet due to its iron oxide-rich surface, is about half the size of Earth and has two small moons: Phobos and Deimos. Its surface is marked by towering volcanoes like Olympus Mons—the tallest in the solar system—and vast canyons such as Valles Marineris. Mars experiences seasons, polar ice caps, and dust storms, but its atmosphere is too thin to support liquid water on the surface today. Scientists believe Mars once had a warmer, wetter climate, with rivers, lakes, and possibly oceans. Evidence of ancient water flows and subsurface ice has made it a key target in the search for past microbial life. Robotic missions like NASA’s Perseverance and Curiosity rovers are exploring its terrain, collecting samples, and preparing for future human exploration.
