They colour Mars red because Mars is red. The following is a photo that I have taken through a very small telescope and you can see that the planet is red.

I have just seen your image of Mars; it is very nice indeed.

However, some planets like Venus appears blue; other planets like Saturn or Jupiter may appear yellow or orange; but this is only apparent to you from far distance; it is not due to that Mars is truly red because it has much iron, nor Venus is less than it in iron or that the other planets have copper or other materials in abundance; although all these elements are present there on all these planets; because all the planets have a common origin.

The reason for the apparent coloration of the planets is their position and distance from us and from the sun; whether the planet is before us (in relation to the sun); so that the sunrays fall on it (before reaching to us), then it will be reflected from that planet to reach us.

On the other hand the planet far from us, the sunrays will reach to it after passing us, then they will be reflected from that planet and we see that planet according to some light waves that are reflected giving the planet that blue, red, orange or yellow.

While the planets almost have similar constituents with some variation and modification, like that you see some regions in the Earth rich in iron, copper, calcium or other elements.

Don't you understand even the elementary fact that we see ALL the planets by reflected light?

Don't you understand then that the colors of ALL these planets are only apparent, and the red planet does not necessarily include more iron than others, and it is not actually red?

Try dealing with the question that was asked. Do you understand that we see all the planets only by reflected light? Whether the sun's light has gone past us before or after being reflected is irrelevant, and varies over the year anyway, depending on relative orbital positions. I've seen Mars many times, with the naked eye, binoculars, small backyard telescopes, and once a fairly large telescope at the university observatory, and it looks pretty much like the image #juan posted, though it varies somewhat with observing conditions. If that's not what colour it is, why does it look like it's that colour, and what colour are you claiming it is?

You are right; all of us see it red, and all people see it a red planet in the sky; but it does not mean that its dust is red: I mean more red than dust of the Earth is.
It appears red because of some light wave that reaches to us because of its position and distance. If we were farther than it: e.g. near to Jupiter, we may then see it in another appearance.

It isn't red because it includes more iron than the iron of the Earth or Venus.

The idea that it is a red planet made them modify the colors to suit their imaginative picture of how Mars should appear;

and I think - although you may not agree - that this modification might have made the appearance of Mars as a desolate desert, and the water body surfaces there appear as flat brown ground, and if any green vegetation areas available it will disappear, and look like the desert: exaggerated red sand.

They use three colors to make their pictures colored: green, blue and red; and they mix that in certain proportions to give the final image color; so if they increase the proportion of the red element, it will overlap the picture giving it a more red hue and obscure the true natural coloration there. This is what I think it has been applied to some large extent.

This might put it in perspective: http://tinyurl.com/5bka84

This is the wisdom; where is the application?

Here is a good insight of the universe and existence; but where is the profit from such understanding?

I mean: man should know that God is the Creator and Almighty, and this Worldly life will sooner or later comes to an end; therefore it is useless to shed the blood for the purpose of the pride and transgression, and man should be with God alone and prepare every means for the next future life where he will live for millions of years: either in prosperity or in wretchedness and misery.

So be with God alone, and then God will be with you. And then, clinging to the Commandments of God will let all mankind live in peace and prosperity in this World and in the next afterlife.

lol I've seen the moon looking awfully red sometimes. :D Also silver, orange, green, yellow, and blue.
I've seen Mars twinkle, too, so it must be black sometimes, besides being red. lmao
WOW!!! This must mean that they are really like kaleidoscopes and constantly changing their constitutions.
(Well it''s as good a hypothesis as ea's isn't it? hehehe)

Knowledge is its own reward.

I mean: man should know that God is the Creator and Almighty,
Why?
and this Worldly life will sooner or later comes to an end; therefore it is useless to shed the blood for the purpose of the pride and transgression, and man should be with God alone and prepare every means for the next future life where he will live for millions of years: either in prosperity or in wretchedness and misery.
In your not so humble opinion.


So be with God alone, and then God will be with you. And then, clinging to the Commandments of God will let all mankind live in peace and prosperity in this World and in the next afterlife.
Please post your religious claptrap in the religious threads and not in the science threads.

There is now evidence that water flows on the surface of Mars.

"there's new indications that liquid water is indeed flowing in small amounts during the Martian summer. The evidence comes from the super-resolving HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has seen dark rivulets form, grow, and then fade in the planet's southern hemisphere. These transient slope lineae, as they've been dubbed by Alfred McEwen (University of Arizona) and his colleagues, could be formed by brines containing enough salt to depress their freezing points by more than 100°F (50° to 60°C). He described them yesterday at the annual Lunar & Planetary Science Conference in Texas.

What makes the case convincing is that many of the flowlike features have come and gone between HiRISE's successive passes. According to Lujendra Ojha, an undergrad working with the HiRISE team, at least 15 sets of TSLs have been observed to change over time. They darken the surface when they appear and then gradually lighten.

"These flows may advance a little near the warmest time of each day," McEwen writes, "or they may advance by greater amounts on some days but not others."

This view is about 450 feet (120 m) across.
NASA / JPL / Univ. of Arizona


Unlike the gullies seen by Mars Global Surveyor, these new finds occur only along Sunward-facing slopes, and they form only during the relative warmth of midsummer. Why they're found just in the southern hemisphere, at latitudes from -32° to -48°, is unclear. It's also a puzzle where and how brines can be stored so near the surface.

McEwen, Ojha, and others hope to get more answers soon. They're targeted particularly rich troves of TSLs for repeated looks with HiRISE and a sensitive spectrometer called CRISM during the coming southern summer."

eanassir if Mars was inhabited, it would be by people/animals who could live in a vacuum, who could
tolerate temperatures of -200 degrees, who could get water out of rocks, who were immune
to radiation. Sound likely? I didn't think so.

I'm never sure which dimension we live in, the third or the forth? Whichever, it is possible that life on Mars lives in a different dimension. On Earth we have creatures living in ice and at great depths in the ocean where most creatures on Earth could not live. So it is possible for life to exist on any planet, just not life as we know it. Until we open our minds to greater possibilities, we will not be able to perceive anything outside our limited belief in what is possible.
