Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is known as the "Red Planet" due to its iron-rich, red dust and soil. It is a cold, rocky, terrestrial planet with a thin, dusty atmosphere, polar ice caps, extinct volcanoes, canyons, and weather that can include planet-wide dust storms. With a weaker gravitational pull than Earth, Mars has a surface gravity that is roughly one-third of Earth's.
