Large Impact Theory
The Large Impact Theory brings upon the idea that Mars has suffered a large collision. Just like how the Earth's moon is the result of an immpact between our infant planet and a planetisimal named Theia.
With this theory, astronomers suggest that the composition of Phobos and Deimos may have originated from Mars itself, so therefore this must have happened, but we can only truly say that up until today this is only a theory.

Mars's moons, Phobos and Deimos, share many characteristics with two types of asteroids common in the belt: C- and D-type asteroids.
Moreover, by the looks of Phobos and Deimos, we can easily assume that they are both captured objects from the Asteroid Belt, that maybe there was a collision...

Mercury
The smallest planet in our solar system and nearerst to the Sun,
Mecury is only slightly larger than the Earth's Moon. From the surface of Mercury, the sun would appear more than three times as large as it does when viewed from Earth, and the sunlight would be as much as seven times bright...
Surface
The red planet is actually many colors. At the surface, we see colors as brown, gold, and tan. The reason Mars looks reddish is due to oxidization—or rusting—of iron in the rocks, regolith (Martian “soil”), and dust of Mars. This dust gets kicked up into the atmosphere and from a distance makes t...
