This is quite a difficult (and ambiguous) question to answer.
Let's start with the example of dwarf planet Pluto, approximately 1/5 the size of Earth. It is obviously not a planet because it is too small (as stated by its category, "dwarf planet"). We all know that it used to be a planet but was excluded due to its size.
We can therefore conclude that Mars, about 2/3 the size of Earth, is an existing planet simply because it met the size requirements; and the fact that it is neither a moon belonging to another planet (which can be distinguished by its orbit*), nor a star (distinguished by criteria of a star that it doesn't meet**).
* A planet orbits the Sun, but a moon orbits the planet it belongs to.
** Stars do not orbit, but Mars does. Also, stars have a special life cycle that Mars does not follow. And as well as this, Mars does not twinkle, blow up or behave like a star.
Mars is special because it is similar in many ways to Earth, making it a prime candidate for future human exploration and potential colonization. It is the only planet known to have surface conditions that could support life, with evidence of past water flow, polar ice caps, and a thin atmosphere. Mars is also home to the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, and the deepest canyon, Valles Marineris.
Mars is the fourth planet counting outwards from the sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,...). The question is a misapprehension - there are no planets on earth - the only planet around here IS Earth.
Mars is very special because it is the only planet that could actually have life. With NASA down, we are going to be really slow in the Space Program.
Because they found water on it so there may be life forms on it.
Mars was a rocky planet because it was made of rocks. If it is made of rocks, it can also hold waters like the Earth.
