What do you know about the Red Planet? This kids video will tell you a lot of interesting facts about Mars that you might not know. We often call Mars the Red Planet because of its rusty red appearance. The surface is rocky and dusty, with iron-rich minerals that give it that distinctive color. Unlike planets mainly made of gas, like Jupiter or Saturn, Mars has a solid surface that scientists can study closely. It even has mountains and valleys, just like Earth!

Mars has some of the most extreme weather in the solar system. Dust storms can cover the entire planet and last for weeks! These storms result from strong winds and the fine, powdery dust on the surface. Scientists have used special tools, like rovers and orbiters, to measure the temperature and study the planet's weather. The planet is very cold, with temperatures dropping to -200° Fahrenheit at night.

Scientists have sent many missions to Mars, like the Spirit, Opportunity, and Perseverance rovers. These robots explore the planet and send back pictures and data. One of the most exciting discoveries was of some frozen water beneath the surface. This raises the possibility that life may have existed on the planet or might exist in the future.
