Mars, also known as the Merih and Red planet, has very similar characteristics to Earth as seasonal periods and period of rotation. It is iron oxide, which is found mostly on the most important surface of the reddened surface of Mars. The Mount of Olympos on Mars is the highest known mountain in the Solar System. The canyon, also known as Marineris Valley in Mars, is the largest canyon discovered by the Solar System.

Mars is known to be the most likely planet in the Solar System to have water and life after Earth. Because of this feature of Mars, scientists are constantly doing research on Mars in particular. Mars also has two satellites named Phobos and Deimos discovered in 1877.

The red planet has lost its magnetosphere about 4 billion years ago. Because of this, Mars's solar winds are in direct contact with the ionosphere, keeping the atmosphere thin. Scientists today are predicting and working on the subject that Mars's atmosphere suddenly escapes millions of years ago.

Finally, as a general culture, the name Mars is derived from the god of war in Roman mythology.
