Question 1 of 1
Which planet is known as the Red Planet?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Mars is known as the Red Planet because of its reddish appearance, which is due to the high amount of iron oxide (rust) on its surface. This iron oxide reflects sunlight in such a way that it gives the planet a red hue visible even from Earth. The term 'Red Planet' has been historically used in both astronomy and culture to describe Mars, distinguishing it from other terrestrial planets. Scientific missions have confirmed the presence of iron minerals and oxidized dust across its landscape, reinforcing the red coloration observed through telescopes.
