Mars is reddish in colour. Its red colour comes from iron oxide(rust) in its soil. That is why, mars is known as the red planet.

Because it appears red in colour

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 10 months ago

The red appearance is due to the red/brownish red coloured regolith present on the surface of the planet Mars. Some other sources also state that the small sized particles of this regolith will suspend due to the mild atmosphere present there and gives the reddish appearance.
The red colour is mainly because of the oxides of Iron in +3 state ( ferric oxides ) . It might be because of alpha-hematite( Fe2O3 ).
