Why is Mars not WHITE

Why would the furthest planet from the Sun not be covered in ice and look like a desert? Space Magic? These things confuse me

  • Mars isn't white because no liquid water exists on the planets surface. Mars appears red at a distance because of the iron oxide stirred up from the surface. In reality, it's actually surface color varies from a light brown to a greenish tinge, depending upon the mineral balance of that area. The only recorded liquid of the surface was a variation of Nitro oxide gas in liquid form. Which is slightly green in color
