Correct answer: Iron oxide

The surface of Mars is rich in iron minerals, which, when exposed to oxygen, rust and form iron oxides. This process gives the planet its iconic red-orange appearance, earning it the nickname 'The Red Planet.' Intriguingly, Mars's atmosphere is very thin, yet this oxidation process still occurred over billions of years. Photo: Kevin Gill from Los Angeles, CA, United States, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0.
