Mars

Mars is nicknamed the Red Planet

The planet is covered with rust-like dust

Even the atmosphere is pinkish red

One of the largest and tallest mountains in the Solar System is known as Olympus Mons

Olympus Mons is nearly 3 times taller than Earth's Mt. Everest

Mars has a very very thin atmosphere made mostly of Carbon Dioxide.

Mars's atmosphere is not thick enough to trap the Sun's heat so the planet is very cold.

Mars has two tiny moons shaped liked lumpy potatoes- Phobos and Deimos.

In about 50 million years Phobos will fall onto Mars----if I were you I wouldn't be on Mars when that happens.
