Mars has the largest dust storms in our Solar System. They vary from a local storm, to gigantic storms that cover the entire planet.

Most storms tend to occur when Mars is closest to the Sun which suggests that they are caused by solar heating.

They are caused by the heat from the sun causing warm air and cool air to change positions (this also causes the wind on earth). Some of the reasons the duststroms on Mars can get so large are that Mars is a lot smaller, has no water, and is a lot dustier.

Dust storms are powered by sunshine. Solar heating warms the Martin atmosphere and causes the air to move.
