Mars is an extremely cold planet with an average temperature around minus-80 degrees. Temperatures can dip to minus-225 degrees around the poles. Periods of warmth are brief — highs can reach 70 degrees for a brief time around Noon at the equator in the summer.
Mars is very cold even in summer
MARS has a very thin atmosphere and strong winds that can cover the whole planet.
dry & dusty
The climate of Mars has been an issue of scientific curiosity for centuries, not least because Mars is the only terrestrial planet whose surface can be directly observed in detail from the Earth.
Although Mars is smaller at 11% of Earth's mass and 50% farther from the Sun than the Earth, its climate has important similarities, such as the polar ice caps, seasonal changes and the observable presence of weather patterns. It has attracted sustained study from planetologists and climatologists. Although Mars's climate has similarities to Earth's, including seasons and periodic ice ages, there are also important differences such as the absence of liquid water (though frozen water exists) and much lower thermal inertia. Mars' atmosphere has a scale height of approximately 11 km (36,000 ft), 60% greater than that on Earth. The climate is of considerable relevance to the question of whether life is or was present on the planet, and briefly received more interest in the news due to NASA measurements indicating increased sublimation of the south polar icecap leading to some popular press speculation that Mars was undergoing a parallel bout of global warming.[1]
Mars has been studied by Earth-based instruments since as early as the 17th century but it is only since the exploration of Marsbegan in the mid-1960s that close-range observation has been possible. Flyby and orbital spacecraft have provided data from above, while direct measurements of atmospheric conditions have been provided by a number of landers and rovers. Advanced Earth orbital instruments today continue to provide some useful "big picture" observations of relatively large weather phenomena.
The first Martian flyby mission was Mariner 4 which arrived in 1965. That quick two day pass (July 14--15, 1965) was limited and crude in terms of its contribution to the state of knowledge of Martian climate. Later Mariner missions (Mariner 6, and Mariner 7) filled in some of the gaps in basic climate information. Data based climate studies started in earnest with the Viking program in 1975 and continues with such probes as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
This observational work has been complemented by a type of scientific computer simulation called the Mars General Circulation Model.[2] Several different iterations of MGCM have led to an increased understanding of Mars as well as the limits of such models. Models are limited in their ability to represent atmospheric physics that occurs at a smaller scale than their resolution. They also may be based on inaccurate or unrealistic assumptions about how Mars works and certainly suffer from the quality and limited density in time and space of climate data from Mars.
Usually the climate, weather, and atmosphere in Mars is higher than the normal temperature in Earth. Mars is much hotter and has less atmosphere. I suggest looking in Google.com for this question too. Much more answers and there are different strategies for this question-
= "What is the climate weather atmosphere in mars?" =
The climate on mars in rather cold. an average is -80°F(about -60°C.) only because it is smaller than earth and is farther from the sun.
mars is very close to sun so its temperature is high as 473 c and as low as -400 c
The crustal history of mars is the climate.
he pathfinder was a mission to mars. it collected alot of info about mars that we did not knw before. like the dust on mars is very thin. what the atmosphere is made up of. the diversity of the rocks. the weather.
The name of the spacecraft is MAVEN. MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 18, 2013. MAVEN's mission is to study the upper atmosphere of Mars to help explain how Mars' climate changed over time, causing it to lose oceans and rivers. The MAVEN spacecraft is carrying haiku and artwork (including a Bonta haiku) on a DVD on its solar panels. MAVEN's ETA to Mars is Spetember 2014.
So far (as of the year 2010) no human being has ever travelled to the planet Mars. Whether such travels will ever happen in the future would be difficult to predict. In the current economic climate, it is not likely that anyone is going to fund that kind of travel.
The trapped gases identify the meteorites as Martian in the first place, because their abundance closely matches the gases identified by probes on Mars. The gas composition would also be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere (and possibly the planetary crust) at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could also give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.
it is about 0 degrees on mars
No because they have no oxygen in mars
yep
hot
The Mars Climate Orbiter
It consists mainly of Carbon Dioxide. It is very cold.
My a33hole
The crustal history of mars is the climate.
it is vey hot
no
Phobos is a moon of the planet Mars. It is too small to have an atmosphere so it has no climate.
It is theorized that the valley networks on Mars formed when Mars had a warmer wetter climate so that precipitation might account for the branched networks etc.
