There is no liquid water now on Mars. There may have been, in the past.

Also, there is ice on Mars.

Mars is a planet that is too cold for liquid water to exist on its surface. Almost the entire surface of Mars is covered in ice.

Where does water exist on mars is the water ice liquid or gas?

the water is frozen; Mars's minimal atmosphere is not enough to breathe or keep it warm.


How could water be retained on mars without evaporating?

The atmospheric pressure on Mars is so low that liquid water cannot exist there; any liquid would evaporate fairly quickly. The only way to keep water liquid on Mars would be to keep it in a pressurized container.


What conditions would have allowed life as you know it to extist or not exist on the mars?

Life as we know it would likely not exist on Mars due to its thin atmosphere, lack of liquid water, and intense radiation. However, if Mars had a thicker atmosphere, more stable climate, and liquid water on its surface, there would be a greater potential for life to exist.


Why doesnt the northern ice cap on Mars melt?

The temperature on Mars is too cold for water to exist in liquid form on its surface.


Why cant water exist in liquid form on mars and the other outer planets?

Water cannot exist in liquid form on Mars and the outer planets because of their extremely low temperatures. Mars has a thin atmosphere that cannot trap enough heat for liquid water to exist on its surface. The outer planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, have such low temperatures that water freezes into solid ice or exists as vapor in their atmospheres.


Why would dry riverbeds suggests mars once had a warmer climate?

Currently, Mars is too cold for liquid water to exist on its surface. Dry river beds suggest that liquid water once flowed there.


Is there liquid anything on Mars?

Not that we know of. The "air" pressure on Mars is so low that water cannot exist in the liquid state; it will be either a gas or a solid. We know that there is some water on Mars; at night, the water vapor condenses as frost onto solid surfaces, such as rocks or spacecraft.


Where might water be found on Mars?

Water is found at the poles of Mars in the form of ice. This has only been confirmed recently. As for liquid water, there is relatively no atmosphere on Mars and as such ice on the surface does not melt, but turns straight to vapor. So if there is liquid water on Mars it must be blow ground.


What form is the water on Mars?

Water on Mars can be found in various forms, including ice at the polar caps, subsurface ice, and occasionally as liquid brines on the surface. The Martian atmosphere is too thin for liquid water to exist for long periods.


Where migh water exist as a permanent frost or as a liquid on Mars?

• as permanent frost (called permafrost) Water exists in ice form as permanent frost in the North and South Poles of Mars. The big slabs of ice are called polar icecaps. • as liquid So far, no liquid water has been found anywhere on Mars.
