How can Mars have life but still be "The Red Planet"

+0
−0

Building on this question "Discovery of life on Mars"

Mars is habitable (40% the mass of Earth, 6.06 m/s² gravity, escape velocity of 7.88 km/s, a satellite big enough to stabilize its axis and has a magnetic field of 0.263 Gauss)

Applying this, Is it possible for this Mars to be "The Red Planet"?

From the timeline you describe, there had been no satellite imagery of Mars surface at the time of the landing. As long as no large structures had been built and there were no large settlements (at least above ground), it is doubtful that any signs of medieval era type civilization would have been noticeable from Earth. Food and water would have to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is probably going to be from underground somehow, as large bodies of water or vegetation would be noticeable from Earth.

How would the weather be like in this Mars?

Would the Mons volcanoes be taller and active? - What effects would they do to the planet?

Would the poles be frozen?

Could flora be red instead of green?
