Mars is often called the red planet due to it's rusty rocks that make a red glow. Mars is roughly half the size of Earth and has ice at it's poles. It has the highest peak in the solar system, Olympus Mons. Many believed that Mars was full of life until the 90s when people discovered that it was a barren dusty planet devoid of any life. Mars has no magnetic feild. It has two moons, Phobos and Diemos. It can get as cold as -195°F at it's poles. Mars has many volcanoes but none apear to be active. Mars is right next to the asteroid belt.
