Question

Earth: Bluish green :: ___________ : Reddish
A. Mars
B. Mercury
C. Jupiter
D. Uranus

Answer 1

Hint: Here we have a question with just four words. As a first step, we have to find the relation between the first two words and then apply the same relation to the other two words. So basically we are supposed to find the planet among the given options that is red in colour.

Complete step by step solution:
In the question, we are given a relation related to the planets. To make it more clear, we have the colour our planet earth given as bluish green and we are supposed to find which of the four planets mentioned in the options is reddish in colour.
It is a very well known fact that Mars is known as the ‘red planet’. This is due to the reason that iron minerals that are present in the martian soil oxidize or in other words rust, thereby causing the soil along with the martian atmosphere to look red.
Therefore, we found the planet that is red in colour to be mars. Hence, option A is the answer.

Additional information:
Mars is known to be the fourth nearest planet to the sun and also the second smallest of the solar system. Mercury is known to be the smallest of them all.

Note: The name of planet mars comes from the Roman god of war. Mars is also known to be a terrestrial planet that has a thin atmosphere and its surface also reminiscent of the impact craters of the moon and the valleys, polar ice caps of Earth and deserts.
