   Nov 8, 2024 · Mars is a cold, bleak wasteland, with very thin air that we Earthlings could never breathe. However, many of the pictures our telescopes, orbiters, and rovers have sent back show signs that liquid water might have been on the surface of Mars long ago. Also, we can see ice caps at the north and south poles. Image of Martian ice clouds.

   Water on Mars. In many ways, Mars is the most Earthlike of all the planets. A visitor would find that a day on Mars is only slightly longer than one on Earth. Mars is also tilted about the same amount as the Earth, so it has seasons. Both Mars and Earth have white polar caps. Those on Mars are much smaller and thinner, so they grow quickly in ...

   Sep 30, 2015 · Why is the identification of liquid water so important? The possibility of extraterrestrial life. According to Nat Geo, “What we know so far, based on the single example of Earth, is that life tends to show up wherever there’s water. That’s why NASA’s search for life beyond Earth has been driven by the mantra, ‘Follow the water.’”

   Why is Mars so arid?

   • Right now, the surface of Mars is now extremely arid because the air is too thin for liquid water to last for long. The red planet’s atmospheric pressure is just roughly 1/100th of Earth’s and in such thin air water easily boils. However, dark, narrow lines on martian slopes hint that water could run down these formations regularly.

   What did ancient Mars look like?

   • An artist's idea of what ancient Mars may have looked like with more water is based on geological data. However, there is less water on Mars compared to Earth now. Most of the water known is in the cryosphere (permafrost and polar caps), and there is only a small amount of water vapor in the thin atmosphere.
