The Red Planet is most likely Mars. It’s called the Red Planet because of its reddish appearance.

Introduction
The red planet is, of course, Mars. It got its name from the Roman god of war because its color reminded early astronomers of blood.
The Red Planet
The Red Planet is a common nickname for the planet Mars. The surface of Mars is characterized by a great deal of red rock and dust. The planet’s red color is caused by iron oxide, which is abundant on Mars.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, being only larger than Mercury. In English, Mars carries a name of the Roman god of war and is often referred to as the “Red Planet” because the reddish iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance that is distinctive among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.
The Blue Planet
The red planet is not actually red. It is blue. The blue planet is the Earth.
Earth
The third planet from the sun, Earth is the only world known to support an atmosphere with free oxygen, oceans of liquid water on its surface and, of course, life. With a diameter of just over 12,700 kilometers, Earth is the fifth largest planet in our solar system. But it’s the only one we call home.
Earth orbits our sun, a medium-sized star, at an average distance of 150 million kilometers. We experience day and night because our world rotates on its axis, an imaginary line running through the North and South Poles. One full rotation takes 24 hours. Our planet also tilted as it orbits the sun, giving us seasons.
Earth’s complex geology includes massive mountain ranges, volcanoes and huge canyons. Its surface is also crisscrossed by rivers and oceans that teem with life. We are just beginning to explore Earth’s final frontier — its deep oceans — which cover more than 70 percent of our planet’s surface.
From space, Earth looks like a beautiful blue and white marble. The blue comes from our oceans, which are vital to life on Earth. The white are clouds that help regulate our planet’s temperature by reflecting sunlight back into space. Our atmosphere also helps keep us alive by trapping heat from the sun so that Earth stays warm enough for living things to survive.
The Green Planet
Although the Red Planet is most commonly associated with being the green planet, it is in fact the blue planet. This is because the planet’s atmosphere is composed of gas and dust, which is what gives it its red color. The Green Planet is a habitable planet with an oxygen-rich atmosphere and ample water resources.
Venus
In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, sex, beauty, and prosperity. She was the Roman counterpart to the Greek Aphrodite. However, Roman Venus had many abilities beyond her Greek counterpart. She could also summon fertility and was a protector of gardens.
The planet Venus is named after the Roman goddess. It is often called the Morning Star or the Evening Star because it is often the first or last star visible in the sky. It is also one of the brightest objects in the night sky. Venus is so bright that it can sometimes be seen during the daytime.
Venus is similar in size to Earth and has a similar structure, but it has very different conditions on its surface. The atmosphere of Venus is very dense and is composed mostly of carbon dioxide. There is almost no water vapor present. The atmospheric pressure on Venus is about 90 times that of Earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level. The temperature on Venus averages about462 degrees Celsius (863 degrees Fahrenheit).
The surface of Venus is covered with craters, mountains, and volcanic features. There are also large plains that have been resurfaced by lava flows. One feature that sets Venus apart from other terrestrial planets is its lack of plate tectonics. This means that there are no moving plates of crust on Venus like there are on Earth. Instead, the entire planet’s crust seems to be one big plate.
