Mostly dust and rocks. A lot of iron oxide (rust) gives it a reddish color.
Dry

Rocky

Craters

Valley

Ice Caps

Red surface Mars is largely rock strewn desert, with some hilly dune-like areas, and some mountainous areas, including Mons Olympus, an extinct volcano that is the highest known mountain in our solar system.
It's surface is much like ours, but with much less water. So basically Mars is made of big and small rocks with lots of ice as well.
The surface features of Mars are that it has a rocky outer crust blanketed with a rust colored soil. Mars also has many valleys, plains, and volcanoes. In fact, Mars is home to the highest volcano in the Solar System! On its southern side Mars has many craters, making it very different from its northern side with valleys and plains. Even though it has valleys and plains Mars has no grass or water. They were actually formed by vol canoe's lava hardening for millions of years. Mars's Olympus Mons, is 3 times the height of Mount Everest on Earth! Mars also has a canyon that stretches across 1/4 of the planet, it's called Valles Marineris. And it is 10 times longer than the Grand Canyon!Mars also has craters like our moon in its south and channels were water might once have flown, these channels widen as they go further down. Some of these channel patterns also go around the craters.

The surface features on Mars are mainly made of rock.

Looks red from the dust and it has mountains and craters even have polar ice capes. Mars even has slight winds from the chemicals in the atmosphere.

The surface of mars is 68 degrees in summer and -220 degrees in the winter it does not get much heat. it is rocky and hard and frozen water
it has lots of debris and lots of rocks, Boulders, Canyons, inactive Volcanoes,rocks,and red dust

An asteroid's brightness may change as it rotates because it?

An asteroid's brightness may change as it rotates because different surface features reflect varying amounts of sunlight towards Earth. As the asteroid rotates, different surface areas are illuminated, causing the brightness to fluctuate in a repeating pattern. This variation in brightness can provide valuable information about the asteroid's shape, surface composition, and rotation period.
