Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and often called the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance caused by iron oxide on its surface. Known for its dusty landscapes, towering volcanoes like Olympus Mons, and deep valleys such as Valles Marineris, Mars has long intrigued scientists as a potential home for past or present life. It has a thin atmosphere, primarily made of carbon dioxide, and experiences seasons, polar ice caps, and dust storms. Mars is a key focus of planetary exploration and future human missions.
