The planet mars in Hinduism

                                   The planet mars in Hinduism

According to Hindu puranas, mars is the 3rd planet. But scientifically it is the 4th one.  Earth is the third planet when compared to its distance from Sun.
In Sanskrit, Mars is referred as Kuja. Ku means in Sanskrit , earth. Ja means son. So Kuja means son of earth. In Hindu puranas mars is referred as son of earth and God Vishnu. Planet mars is red in colour hence the name Angaraka.
Mars is identical to earth. Only the difference is there is no living organisms. NASA claims that it has found the traces of water which was there earlier.
