Mars is the forth biggest plant circling the sun in the solar System. Mars got its name from a roman god he was the god of war. Mars has a nick name "Red Planet". Mars has similar seasonal cycle as earth. Smooth Borealis in the norther hemisphere covers 40% of the planet.  

Until the first flight by mars in 1965, by Mariner 4, a lot of people wondered if there was water on mars. They looked for water in light and dark patches, mostly in the polar latitudes which are by seas and continents. Out of all the planets Mars is most likely to harbor liquid, and harbor life. People think that mars had a large amount of water on it. 

Mars has two moon, Phobos and Deimos, these two are small and irregular. They might be asteroids, like in 5261 in Eureka. NASA thinks that in the southern polar ice caps have been receding. 

I think that mars is a cool planet and i first heard about it when i say the candy. I never new that mars had two moons and that mars used to have water, because i heard that there was never water and never will be water on mars. Other then mars i would like to learn about other planets as well.
