Mars

Mars

Mars is the only planet whose surface can bee seen in detail from Earth. It has a red tint in color, and was named after the Roman's god of war. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, with a width a little over half of the size of earth. Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system. Mars has a sort of red look because of rust. There is a lot of iron in the soil, causing it to have a red tint. The air on Mars has made it turn red. Mars has the tallest Volcano in the Solar System named Olympus Mons, and it is 15 miles high.
