There are no canals on Mars.
The "problem" arose when Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli described the "lines" he saw as canali - Italian for lines or grooves.
This was badly translated into English as canals and was used by Percival Lowell who prophesied that they were used to transport water from the polar caps to the "water starved populous" in the middle regions.
They are in fact nothing more than optical illusions.
No. The supposed canals on Mars were an optical illusion.

For a time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was erroneously believed that there were canals on Mars. These were a network of long straight lines in the equatorial regions from 60° N. to 60° S. Lat. on the planet Mars. They were first described by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli during the opposition of 1877, and confirmed by later observers. Schiaparelli called these canali, which was translated into English as "canals". The Irish astronomer Charles E. Burton made some of the earliest drawings of straight-line features on Mars, although his drawings did not match Schiaparelli's. By the early 20th century, improved astronomical observations revealed the "canals" to be an optical illusion, and modern high resolution mapping of the Martian surface by spacecraft shows no such features.
There aren't about the planet itself that I know of, but the planet is named after the Roman God of War, Mars. He is also known as Ares in Greek Mythology. So thus, there are many myths and legends based around him. One myth about Mars circulating back in the 1950s was that there was a civilization there actively building canals. These canals turned out to be a combination of lens defects and imagination.
The planet is Mars. Through early telescopes, seasonal markings appeared that Italian astronomers originally described as "canali" (channels), which was rapidly assumed to mean actual "canals" of a civilization. The lines were likely an optical illusion, as none were seen by the Mariner 4 flyby in 1965. The volcano Olympus Mons is the largest known volcano in the solar system, but has been inactive for many thousands of years.
life to exist there
yes. Mars' surface has iron oxide on it(rust) that gives it a red glow. Also, 'canals' were found on Mars, which means it had water once. There are polar ice caps on Mars that are made up of mostly frozen water but also of frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice). Finally, Mount Olympus is a great volcano on Mars. It is 25 km higher than Mount Everest.
he studied the canals of mars.
Sadly, the canals on Mars do not exist. although several astronomers reported seeing them, the canals are now believed to have been a combination of optical illusion and self-delusion.
Canali or Canals
The canoe went up one of these canals. The canals of Mars bear further investigation.
People though the supposed canals were signs of a civilization living on Mars.
Mars
Mars. The Italian astronomer Schiaperelli thought he could see "canali" (channels, not actually canals) on the planet's surface. Percival Lowell also "saw" them, and wrote an extensive book on what Mars was probably like because of the "canals". It was determined years later, and proven by the Mars orbiters and landers, that the "canals" were an optical illusion to earth-bound viewers. They don't exist.
He was called Giovanni Schiaparelli , he thought he saw canals on Mars.
No, Saturn does not have canals on its surface. The appearance of canals on other planets, such as Mars, is a result of optical illusions or features created by geological processes. Saturn, on the other hand, is known for its majestic rings made up of countless icy particles.
P. Lowell has written: 'Mars and its canals'
There is no liquid water anywhere on Mars. It has no rivers and no canals. It is a dry, dusty planet.
people think their are aliens on mars because it is much like earth it has the size and scientist say they was water on mars because canals
