Mars is classified as a terrestrial planet within our solar system. This classification is due to its solid, rocky surface, which is composed primarily of minerals and metals, similar to Earth. Mars possesses a thin atmosphere and features such as mountains, valleys, and polar ice caps, further aligning it with other terrestrial planets. Its relative size, composition, and surface conditions distinguish it from gas giants and icy bodies.
