The Color Of Mars Is Not What You Think!

Mars, the red planet definitely looks red when we observe it. Since ancient times it has been observed by humans, and Egyptians called it ‘The Red One’. But the color of mars is not actually red. Sure it looks red to us and the surface too looks red because of various forms of ferric oxide present in martian dust. But if you get a close up view of mars with an orbiter or rover, the red color doesn’t last that long. Once you go only a few millimeters deeper it isn’t red. What might be the reason behind that? Let’s talk about the reason behind that in this video!

Earth is a beautiful planet that we all can agree on. When we look at Earth from space we see a number of diverse colors. The color of our sky is blue and sometimes this blue color is because of the atmosphere that scatters shorter-wavelength blue light preferentially in all directions, giving it its distinctive color.

  1. So it doesn’t have the same amount of O2 as earth because it has soo much more of it that the planet is covered in rust ❓🤔 if I could believe those canals and canyons are due to water that i can’t see then I could believe that abundance of rust is due to oxygen I don’t see 👀

  2. Awesome video! When the hell are people going to land on Mars? I've heard about this since we landed on the moon, in 1969. I hope I live to see man on Mars🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  3. So , according to this, we have red sun rises and sets due to the sun rays going through more of the atmosphere.
    So at what point, are they going to admit that Mars has an atmosphere?

  4. As far as I admire Elon I don't think anyone will want to go there to colonize , and if we do we will give birth to mutants due to less gravity. Perhaps elephant like humans. It will be a monstrosity , plus we don't know how to terraform the atmosphere. Unless living inside bunkers 4ever is your cup o tea.
