Why is the sky on Mars red?

Answer 1

Actually it's more of a pink than red. And it's not always red.

The red comes from all the dust suspended in the atmosphere, which comes from the severe dusts storms that are common on Mars. The Martian "soil" is red, so when a lot of that "soil" or dust is in the air, that makes the sky look pink. The soil is red because there's a lot of a rust-like compound in it.

If all the dust settles out of the sky, then the sky would be a pale blue color. Blue for the same reason Earth's sky is blue. Pale because the Martian atmosphere is very very thin.
