Yes. It has polar caps, which are clearly visible in telescopes. The water held there is frozen, or course. It does not appear to have any liquid water on its surface. There may be subsurface ice. The temperature is too low and the air is too thin for liquid water to exist on the surface of Mars. When the ice on Mars is exposed on the surface, it does not melt, it sublimes - it goes form the solid state to a vapor without becoming a liquid.

It is far too hot. Venus is one of the solar system's rocky planets, along with Earth and Mercury. The planet has an iron core, which is covered by a rocky layer. This rocky layer has a lot of lava, which has been generated by the many volcanoes on its surface. The white look that Venus shows off is a result of the suns rays reflecting off the sulphuric acid clouds surrounding the planet, it is so hot on Venus that it could melt lead, spacecraft have landed on Venus but have lasted less than one hour due to the immense heat and pressure.

Mars, with an average temperature of -53 F (-47 C) is too cold for liquid water.

The state of matter of a substance depends on pressure as well as temperature. Because of the pressure on Mars, if you were to heat up ice, it would go straight to gas, skipping the liquid state.

it's simply to cold.Lacking in atmosphere so it wouldn't even stay water.Mars only receives 43% of heat that we receive here on Earth.there temperatures are even colder than Antarctica temperatures.also mars is internally cold it even is in the potholes that are there.

Because on Mars it is too cold so any water on the surface is frozen, while on Venus its too hot.
