| | Mars (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The planet Mars and the male sex are both commonly represented by the astronomical or gender symbol ♂, which originally represented the shield and spear of Mars and was popularized as the alchemical symbol for iron. | | | The blood-red fourth planet in the Solar System, Mars, was also named after Mars; an adjective form of Mars, Martian (from Martianus), is most commonly used in reference to the planet. | | | Mars, unlike his Greek counterpart, Ares, was more widely worshipped than any of the other Roman gods, probably in part because his sons by the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia, Romulus and Remus, were said to have founded Rome; the Romans called themselves the sons of Mars. |

| | This circle represents the largest possible apparent size of Mars as viewed from Earth (which is achieved only on those very rare occasions -- like the one earlier this year -- when the planets are both favorably positioned at the nearest points in their orbits). | | | In contrast, it is late winter in the northern hemisphere of Mars and the sun is approaching that planet's equator. | | | (Since the diameter of Mars is about half that of the Earth, Mars appears to be about half the size of the Earth when viewed from the same distance.) Both of these discs are compared to a circle 25 seconds of arc in diameter. |
