Mars 🪐

The next planet is Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun. It's often called the "Red Planet" because of the iron oxide (rust) on its surface, which gives it a distinctive reddish hue. Mars is a cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere.

Here are some key facts about Mars:

It has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos.

Mars has polar ice caps, which contain frozen water and carbon dioxide.

It is home to Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system.

Scientists are actively exploring Mars with rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance to search for signs of past microbial life.
