Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Its reddish colour comes from the iron oxide dust (familiar to us as rust) that blankets the planet.Water ice is found on Mars at its two polar icecaps or in a frozen layer just beneath the ground.
The presence of river beds on Mars has convinced scientists that water once flowed there. Mars, long ago, might have been a warmer, wetter planet than it is today. Liquid water might even be still seeping out of the ground, forming mudflows. And wherever there is water, life could exist. There is only one way to find out: to send a manned mission to Mars.
