Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, the next one out after Earth. It looks in the sky, which is why people call it the Red Planet: there is iron in the dust on its surface. It is smaller than Earth, much colder, and its air is very thin, so people cannot live there without special machines and buildings. People often say it is the planet nearest to us. Though actually Venus comes closer at times; Mars is the next planet out, and the one we have studied most with robots. The name comes from Mars, the Roman god of war — the red colour made the Romans think of blood and fighting. English also uses Mars for that god, and there is a famous chocolate bar with the same name, but this word here is the planet. Write it with a capital M. Things from Mars are .
組成From Latin Mārs, the Roman god of war (from older Latin Māvors). The planet was named after the god.

Sol gold is, and Luna silver we declare; Mars yron, Mercurie is quyksilver; Saturnian leed; and Jubitur is tyn, and Venus coper, by my fathers kyn.’ […] Corresponding names were bestowed upon salts of these metals by the alchemists, and some of them have persisted down to the present day.
