There is no water on Mars because the planet is too cold to support water. Liquid isn't stable on the planet's surface but scientists have discovered that at one time, water was plentiful.

Is there any trace of water and oxygen on any other planet?

Water has been found on the surface of Mars. There are traces of oxygen, which is also a component of water, in the Martian atmosphere.


How do you know mars has water?

Because water ice has been found at the Martian poles. Most of the martian ice is carbon dioxide frost, not water. We have not detected any surface water as such there yet, though it appears Mars had water eons ago.


Would you be squished by extreme gravity on mars?

Not by the Martian gravity at any rate. The gravity on the surface of Mars is weaker than on Mercury.


Why is It is not likely that any living organism could survive on the Martian surface?

The Martian surface has a thin atmosphere lacking sufficient oxygen for respiration and shielding from harmful solar radiation. Extreme temperatures, low atmospheric pressure, and scarce liquid water also make it unlikely for living organisms to survive on Mars without specialized equipment and protection.


Have any mars missions ever returned a sample of martian soil to the earth and if so where is it located?

No hardware sent to Mars has ever been returned to Earth, and nothing that's landed on the Martian surface has ever been launched from it.

Why water evaporates on roads?

Water is evaporated from any surface.


Is there any liquid water in the moon?

no Not on the surface; some speculate that there may be frozen water beneath the surface.


What questions would you ask a Martian?

What is the composition of the Martian atmosphere? Have you observed any signs of life on Mars? How do you sustain life on a planet with harsh conditions? Are there any resources on Mars that could be valuable to Earth?


Are there swamps in Mars?

No. For two reasons: # The temperature on the Martian surface is less than 0 Celsius and thus any water (to form a swamp) would be in the form of ice and therefore solid. # The atmospheric pressure on Mars is so low that water can not exist at the surface. If you place a lump of ice on Mars and heated it, it would go straight form solid Ice to water vapor. Thus this again means that there can be no water on the surface of mars with which to form a wet swamp. However, having said this please understand that there is H2O on Mars in the form of ICE and water vapor - we do not know how much H2O there is at the moment and we believe that there was quite allot of liquid water on Mars' surface in the ancient past.


What object does water evaporate from?

Water evaporates from any surface that it comes into contact with, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the surface of the skin. Evaporation occurs when the water molecules gain enough energy to escape into the air as water vapor.


What is water that runs along the surface of the earth?

Surface water is any water on the Earth's surface, such as in rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans. It includes water that flows or collects on the ground, as opposed to groundwater which is found underground.
