Mars is called the red planet, not the red spot. The Great Red Spot is a gigantic cloud formation on the surface of Jupiter. It is three times larger than the Earth, and is visibly redder than the rest of Jupiter's surface.

The Big Red Spot is a particular feature of Jupiter, not Mars. It's an atmospheric storm that has raged for centuries, although at times it disappears from view for long periods. The largest feature on Mars is Olympus Mons - the largest known volcano in the Solar System. However, since the whole planet is largely red, calling this a 'Red Spot' is a misnomer.
