HEY DEAR......!!
Mars is often called the 'Red Planet' because it appears in the sky as an orange-red star. The colour caused the ancient Greeks and Romans to name it after their god of war. Today, thanks to visiting spacecraft, we know that theplanet's appearance is due to rust in the Martian rocks.

Mars probably got the nickname, The Red Planet, due to the rusty color of its soil, which is comprised of iron-rich minerals. The Egyptians called it the red one because it appears more reddish in the night sky
