RED ORIGIN
Mars, the Red Planet, is the fourth planet from the Sun and about half the size of Earth. Its reddish appearance comes from iron oxide rust covering its surface. Long ago, Mars had rivers, lakes, and maybe even an ocean, as seen from dried-up riverbeds and mineral deposits.
It has the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, and the deepest canyon, Valles Marineris. Mars experiences massive dust storms and has seasons like Earth due to its tilted axis.
Though it once had a thicker atmosphere and possibly life-supporting conditions, today it's cold and dry, with temperatures often below -80°F. NASA rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance explore its surface, searching for clues about past life and preparing for future human missions.
