Quick takeaways
- Mars used to have a thicker atmosphere, lakes, and a magnetic field, but its current thin atmosphere and lack of magnetic field have contributed to its dry and dusty surface.
- Terraforming Mars poses challenges such as the lack of water and oxygen, but options like thickening the atmosphere and creating contained environments like domes have been suggested as solutions.

Mars: An Overview
Mars is the next planet from the sun and is about half the size of Earth with one-third its gravity. It used to have a thicker atmosphere, lakes, and a magnetic field. Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. The surface is dry and dusty due to the thin atmosphere and lack of magnetic field. Mars is rich in iron, giving it a reddish appearance. The planet exhibits smooth northern plains and crater-filled southern highlands, possibly due to a major impact and volcanic activity in the past.
