Mars, also known as the red planet, is the 4. th. planet from the sun. It has the largest volcano in the solar system and has some very large impact craters.. Appearance. The planet mars is made from rock. The ground there is red because of the iron oxide in the rocks and dust. The planets atmosphere is very thin and contains heaps of carbon dioxide (also known as co2). Did you know, mars’ first ever name was Ares, named after the Ancient .
