I'll bet you any money you like that you have, without realising it was a planet. It's one of the most prominently visible of the planets, alongside Jupiter and Venus. To the untrained eye it can be hard to distinguish between a planet and a star, both being spots of light in the sky. However, whereas a star appears as a point of light, a planet, being much closer, presents a visible disc. Mars has a definite and distinctive reddish-white glow.
