Mars is a cold, rocky planet with a thin atmosphere. It's often called the "Red Planet" because of its rusty red color, caused by iron oxide dust. Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos.

• It is about 228 million kilometers away from the sun.

• This planet is about half the size of Earth

• It is Very cold on mars with average temperatures around -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees Celsius)

• It has a thin atmosphere which mostly consists of carbon dioxide, with some nitrogen and argon

• Many spacecraft have visited Mars, including rovers that have explored its surface.

Scientists believe that Mars has a similar structure to Earth, with a core, mantle, and crust.

• Its core is Likely made of iron and nickel, similar to Earth's core.

• The Mantle of this red planet is a thick layer of rock, probably composed of silicate minerals.

• Its crust is the outermost layer, made of rocky material.

Mars also has evidence of volcanic activity in its past, which suggests that its interior was once much hotter and more active.

Mars is a cold, rocky planet with a thin atmosphere. Its surface is covered in craters, volcanoes, and vast plains of sand. Here are some of the key features

• It has many Impact craters caused by asteroids and comets.

• The surface has massive volcanoes, including Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system.

• It also has Deep canyons, such as Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the solar system.

• There are Ice caps made of water and carbon dioxide ice at the planet's poles.

Mars, while a smaller planet than Earth, is still a substantial celestial body

• Its diameter, approximately is 4,212 miles (6,779 kilometers), is roughly half that of Earth's, which measures 12,742 kilometers.

• This size disparity is evident when comparing the two planets side by side, as Mars appears noticeably smaller and less massive.

• Its mass measures about 6.4 x 10^23

• This planet has a volume of ~ 1.63 x 10 ^ 11 km³
