Mars: The Red Hot Planet

Located 142 million kilometers from the sun, Mars is the second smallest planet in our solar system. Or is it?

Did you know that Mars is home to the largest volcano in our solar system, Olympus Mons, which is around 3 times the height of Mount Everest?

Or that the Martian dust storms can last for days, weeks, or even months? Yeah, it's like that one weird aunt who just won't leave.
