Mars, known as the Red Planet, is the second smallest planet in the solar system. It has a diameter of 6792 kilometers and a mass of 6.42 * 10^24 kg. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, and an orbit period of 687 days. Its surface temperature ranges from -153°C to 20°C. Mars's red color is due to iron in its soil, and it has been associated with the Roman God of War. Despite its redness, Mars is cold and rocky, with canyons and dust storms. Human exploration began with NASA's Mariner 4 in 1965, followed by the Viking landings in 1976. Future missions may include manned spaceflights.
