Correct Answer - Option 1 : Mars

The Correct Answer is Mars.

  • Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the Solar System's second-smallest planet, only Mercury being smaller.
  • It is known as the "Red Planet" in English because it bears the name of the Roman god of battle.
  • The effect of the iron oxide present on Mars's surface, which gives it a reddish appearance that distinguishes it from other visible celestial bodies, is discussed above.
  • It is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere and surface features similar to impact craters on the Moon and valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps on Earth.
  • Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and highest known mountain on any planet in the Solar System, is situated on Mars, as is Valles Marineris, one of the Solar System's largest canyons.

  • Venus
    • It is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty and love.
  • Mercury
    • It is the Solar System's smallest and nearest planet to the Sun.
  • Jupiter
    • ​It is the Solar System's largest planet and the fifth planet from the Sun.
