Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Sol System.
History
Philip J. Fry, II was the first man on Mars (a feat which has never been equaled), and it was terraformed with traditional college foliage such as ivy, trees and hemp around the time of the founding of Mars University in 2636. Sir Reginald Wong bought Mars from the Native Martians (he traded them a diamond) sometime after that. The purchasing of Mars is celebrated every year as Mars Day.
Environment
Mars is frequently victimized by giant dust storms that occasionally take the shape of cyclones. It is unknown whether Native Martians are the sole cause of these storms, or if they occur naturally. Most of Mars appears to be a desert, although a large river and waterfall, as well as a lush jungle, are seen near the University, as depicted in "Mars University".

Additional Info
Trivia
- The creators make a point that Olympus Mons, Phobos & Deimos (the latter 2 being Mars' moons) are depicted accurately.
- Native Martians, Buggalo, and Martian Spiders are ostensibly the only remaining native species on Mars. The Professor mentions that the now extinct Desert Muck Leech lived in a puddle on Mars before being killed in 3009, through the efforts of Leo Wong and the Last Encyclopod (ITWGY).
