==History==
==History==
Mars is named after the Roman god of war. In Babylonian astronomy, the planet was named after ''Nergal'', their deity of fire, war, and destruction, most likely due to the planet's reddish appearance. When the Greeks equated Nergal with their god of war, Ares, they named the planet Ἄρεως ἀστἡρ (''Areos aster''), or "star of Ares". Then, following the identification of Ares and Mars, it was translated into Latin as ''stella Martis'', or "star of Mars", or simply ''Mars''. The Greeks also called the planet Πυρόεις ''Pyroeis'' meaning "fiery". In Hindu mythology, Mars is known as Mangala (मंगल). The planet is also called ''Angaraka'' in Sanskrit, after the celibate god of war, who possesses the signs of Aries and Scorpio, and teaches the occult sciences. The planet was known by the Egyptians as "''Ḥr Dšr''" or "Horus the Red". The Hebrews named it ''Ma'adim'' (מאדים)—"the one who blushes"; this is where one of the largest canyons on Mars, the Ma'adim Vallis, gets its name. It is known as ''al-Mirrikh'' in both Arabic and Persian, and ''Merih'' in Turkish. The etymology of ''al-Mirrikh'' is unknown. Ancient Persians named it ''Bahram'', the Zoroastrian god of faith. Ancient Turks called it ''Sakit''. The Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures refer to the planet as the ''fire star'', a name based on the ancient Chinese mythological cycle of Five elements.

Mars is named after the Roman god of war. In Babylonian astronomy, the planet was named after Nergal, their deity of fire, war, and destruction, most likely due to the planet's reddish appearance. When the Greeks equated Nergal with their god of war, Ares, they named the planet Ἄρεως ἀστἡρ (Areos aster), or "star of Ares". Then, following the identification of Ares and Mars, it was translated into Latin as stella Martis, or "star of Mars", or simply Mars. The Greeks also called the planet Πυρόεις Pyroeis meaning "fiery". In Hindu mythology, Mars is known as Mangala (मंगल). The planet is also called Angaraka in Sanskrit, after the celibate god of war, who possesses the signs of Aries and Scorpio, and teaches the occult sciences. The planet was known by the Egyptians as "Ḥr Dšr" or "Horus the Red". The Hebrews named it Ma'adim (מאדים)—"the one who blushes"; this is where one of the largest canyons on Mars, the Ma'adim Vallis, gets its name. It is known as al-Mirrikh in both Arabic and Persian, and Merih in Turkish. The etymology of al-Mirrikh is unknown. Ancient Persians named it Bahram, the Zoroastrian god of faith. Ancient Turks called it Sakit. The Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures refer to the planet as the fire star, a name based on the ancient Chinese mythological cycle of Five elements.
