Detailed explanation-1: -Mars is known as the Red Planet. It is red because the soil looks like rusty iron. Mars has two small moons. Their names are Phobos (FOE-bohs) and Deimos (DEE-mohs).
Detailed explanation-2: -Mars is named after the Roman God of war and is often referred to as the “Red Planet” because the red iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance that is distinctive among the celestial bodies visible to the naked eye.
Detailed explanation-3: -Its surface is rocky, with canyons, volcanoes, dry lake beds and craters all over it. Red dust covers most of its surface. Mars has clouds and wind just like Earth. Sometimes the wind blows the red dust into a dust storm.
Detailed explanation-4: -It’s the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun. Surface temperatures on Venus are about 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius) – hot enough to melt lead. The surface is a rusty color and it’s peppered with intensely crunched mountains and thousands of large volcanoes.
