Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, is commonly referred to as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance from Earth. The planet is named after the Roman God of War, Mars. It is the seventh largest planet in our solar system. The yellow-orange color of the Martian surface is due to the presence of oxidized iron in the regolith. The pink-orange color of the sky is caused by extremely fine red dust that is suspended in the thin atmosphere of Mars.
