Riddle me this! I need hope with atmospheric science

Featured Replies

I have pretty much all the answers for my assignment except this question:

 

Why is that planet of mars red?

 

It has something to do with losing hydrogen to space.

Martian atmosphere is incredibly thin compared to ours (about 1% of the Earth's atmosphere) and contains mainly carbon dioxide, this enables the reddish characteristics of the Martian atmosphere to prevail.
