Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Benefiting the red bloody colour, the Romans named it after the Roman god of war. Mars is known for the current astronomical curiosity for the search for life.
The geology is mostly rocks. The landscape has huge mountains and craters that can be two times the size of Earth's. Mars is home to the Olympus Mons which is believed the tallest mountain in the Solar System.
The red planet has a thin atmosphere with many chemical elements like argon, hydrogen, monoxides, and carbon dioxide. A few billion years ago, Mars use to have a electromagnetic field with the 2 poles which was a shield against asteroids and radiation. Now the mysterious atmosphere has evolved to protect the planet
from liquid and radiation
The "Red Planet" is made out of iron, silicates, basalt, and monoxides. The outer layer is mostly red soil and rocks.
In Mars the temperature can go up to -157 C or 251 F. However the surface temperature can get a little hotter. It is most likely to be cold because Mars consumes less radiation from the sun. With an unusual temperatures, Mars has weird weather comparing to Earth. The weather in Mars is mostly dust storms.
People have been interested in Mars for thousands of years and still are today. In fact, the Egyptians wished to go to Mars in curiosity. As you can see, Mars is one of the most interesting and unique planets in the Solar System and we strongly recommend you to travel to Mars. Also, Mars is probably the safest planet to visit since other planets are made out of gas or to close to the sun.
