Why is Mars red?And has there ever been life on ars or could there possibly be life on mars in the future?
Mars has a reddish color because of a thin layer of iron-rich dust that covers its surface that is oxidized, sort of like rust. We don’t yet know whether there is life on Mars, either in its past or present. This is one of the reasons we want to explore Mars. Some day there will be life on Mars, but it will be human explorers.
