Mars, the closest superior planet to Earth, and the fourth planet from the Sun, frequently looks red, so it is sometimes called the red planet.

Mars appears reddish in Earth’s night sky. The planet was named after the Roman god of war because its color symbolizes fire, blood, and war. Close-up photographs show that the Martian surface is a rusty red color. This is because there are iron compounds in the rocks and soil.
