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
-
Because Mars is red irl

2 RepliesIt's brown anyway son.

brb gotta get some tylenol after reading this

oh my God

Stay in school

Umm deserts can be cold and there is little water (except for the polar ice caps) on Mars to be turned into ice. Also unless you mean furthest SOLID planet away from the sun you should of said Neptune
-
Lmao. That's genius. Google our solar system, you'll get a better idea of why it's red and not white lol
-
2 RepliesBecause mars isn't the furthest away.... It's known as the red planet....
-
2 RepliesFurthest planet from the sun? Have you looked at a 3d model of our solar system?

11 RepliesMaybe spend a little less time playing video games and more time reading or listening to your teachers? Mars is the 4th planet in the solar system and not the furthest - that distinction belongs to Neptune, but used to be Pluto before is was declassified as planet back in 2006 and became a dwarf planet. Our solar system is separated into an Inner solar system and an Outer solar system Inner: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars Outer: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (aka the gas giants) As for it being red - that is due to the high concentration of iron oxide in the surface material. And for a bonus - Why is color red - red? That is because the color red absorbs the blue and green wavelengths of the light spectrum while reflecting the red wavelengths. See you learn something new everyday and this case, you get a two for one special.

6 RepliesMars 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

Mars is white ...I just brought one from the shop.

2 RepliesFor several reasons in fact....... 1. Even though Mars is very cold, there is very little water in the atmosphere. So, no water, no ice. No ice, no white tint to the landscape. 2. (The science fiction reason) judging on how the sky on mars (in the game) is blue, would leave me to think that during the golden age, mars was terraformed to more closely resimble Earth's which would have warmed the planet's surface considerably and made the planet 's air breathable. ( although, i don't know why the entire planet is still a red desert, because with an atmosphere would have come a new ecosystem.....but wut evs)

Edited by LordZero: 4/17/2015 2:29:28 PMThe red colour we see in images of Mars is the result of iron rusting. Rocks and soil on the surface of Mars contained a dust composed mostly of iron and small amounts of other elements such as chlorine and sulhpur. The rocks and soil were eroded by wind and the dust was blown across the surface by ancient volcanoes. Mars’ iron oxide would have formed a long time ago, when the planet had more liquid water. This rusty material was transported around the planet in dust clouds, covering everything in a layer of rust. In fact, there are dust storms on Mars today that can rise up and consume the entire planet, obscuring the entire surface from our view. To those saying there's no water on Mars, recent evidence may prove you wrong. Researchers on the Curiosity Mars rover's science team believe they have evidence that there is liquid water on the Red Planet, lurking just beneath the surface of our neighbor's rouge surface. The water in the Martian soil seems to gather intermittently and is a very salty brine, making it perhaps suitable for everyone's favorite retro pet -- sea monkeys! Very, very hearty sea monkeys that could withstand the superharsh environment on the fourth planet, that is. This is all possible thanks to perchlorate, a type of salt found on Mars that has two helpful qualities -- it is essentially able to lure the water out of thin Martian air and also lowers its freezing point, forming a brief, wet overnight party beneath the surface that then dries up again in the morning when the sun heats things up. The More You Know! Da, da, daaa. *Starry rainbow swoosh*

Mars isn't the furthest, just the furthest in the game (if you don't count the reef)
