Exploring Mars: The Red Planet Unveiled!

Mars, often called the Red Planet, is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system. Known for its striking reddish appearance, which is due to iron oxide, or rust, on its surface, Mars has fascinated humans for centuries. It is about half the size of Earth with a diameter of 6,779 kilometers (4,212 miles).
Mars features the tallest volcano and the deepest, longest canyon in the solar system. Olympus Mons stands about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high, nearly three times the height of Mount Everest, while Valles Marineris stretches for over 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) and plunges as deep as 7 kilometers (4.3 miles).
The planet has a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with traces of nitrogen and argon. This atmosphere is too thin to support liquid water on the surface, but evidence suggests that Mars once had a thicker atmosphere and liquid water, including vast oceans.
Mars experiences seasons similar to Earth, due to its tilted axis. However, its seasons are almost twice as long because it takes about 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun. Temperatures on Mars can vary widely, ranging from about -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 degrees Celsius) in winter near the poles to up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) in summer at the equator during midday.
