The short answer to ”why is Mars red” is that the planet is covered in rust. Iron oxide to be exact. The iron oxide is simply a dust that covers the entire surface in varying depths. That dust is picked up by wind and carried into the atmosphere where it reflects the red part of the light spectrum and, viola, Mars is the Red Planet

Sorry to deflate your intellectual prowess. What you've just mentioned is not what's been posted here. This one was discovered only a couple of weeks ago! Now that's enough egg on your face to make a king sized omlet!!
