Mars is the most similar known planet to Earth in our solar system. It is thought to have similar composition, and, maybe even water. It cannot, however, sustain life as we know it, because Mars lacks both a thick atmosphere, and an active core (therefore it also lacks a magnetosphere, so its atmosphere is ionized).
