Why is mars sky red?

On Mars, photographs from landing vehicles suggested that the sky is generally a butterscotch (yellowish-brown) color. Mars appears to have a permanent haze of dust, which remains suspended in the air after dust storms. The dust contains the mineral limonite, a brown iron oxide found on most of the Martian surface.


Are there 100-year-long storms on Mars?

Does the planet mars have storms?

Because the air on Mars is so thin, it's possible to get tremendously fast winds there, which kicks up enormous dust storms. When the first Viking Lander was scheduled to land on Mars, on July 4, 1976 (just in time for the Bicentennial of the US), a planet-wide dust storm had completely obscured the planet, and the landing had to be postponed for 2 weeks. The Viking Lander actually landed on July 20, 1976, the anniversary of the first Apollo landing on the Moon.


How long does a dust storm on mars last?

The dust storm in Australia lasted for a day. It began in South Australia and the Northern Territory and then moved eastwards and north. In Sydney, it began before dawn and lasted well into the afternoon, whilst it moved into Brisbane just before noon and was still hanging around at midnight. North Queensland was expected to experience the storm within one-two days.
