Yes, there is water on Mars. It is in ice form but does evaporate when temperatures allow it to. The environmental conditions of Mars do not allow for water to stay in liquid form, and the water is most likely not pure even in it's ice state, containing other gases and debris.

Radar data from Mars Express and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter revealed the presence of large quantities of water ice both at the poles and at mid-latitudes (July 2005). The Phoenix Mars Lander directly sampled water ice in shallow martian soil on July 31, 2008.
Yes, there is ice, which is basically frozen water.

What evidence is there that water has been flowing on Mars recently?

NASA photographs of Mars are the best evidence that water has been flowing on Mars recently. During warmer periods in Mars' atmosphere, the photographs show streaks that look like streams. Scientists agree that this is evidence of water on Mars.


Which planet thought to have liquid water in the past?

Mars is the planet thought to have had liquid water in the past based on various geological features such as canyons, river valleys, and mineral signatures found on the surface. These suggest that Mars likely had a more hospitable environment billions of years ago where liquid water could have existed.


What planet has evidence of erosion by water?

Mars has evidence of erosion by water, including river valleys, channels, and minerals formed in the presence of water. Mars once had liquid water flowing on its surface, shaping the landscape over time.


What are three discoveries made by spacecraft that have been sent to study mars?

Evidence of ancient water channels, lakes, and glaciers on Mars, suggesting the presence of liquid water in the planet's past. Identification of methane in the Martian atmosphere, hinting at potential microbial life or geological activity. Detection of diverse minerals and geological formations, providing insights into Mars' geological history and potential habitability.


Where did we already know of the existence of martian water?

Martian water has been confirmed by various missions, such as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Curiosity rover. These missions have provided evidence of water in the form of ice, frost, and hydrated minerals in different regions on Mars.

How is there water on mars?

There is only very small amounts of water in a gas form in the atmosphere and there has been found that there is water in the ice caps on Mars. There is no liquid water on Mars. But ancient Mars is believed to have as much water as Earth does today, in liquid form.

How can you overcome not having water on Mars?

Not having water on Mars is not something to overcome - unless you believe water is necessary to life and you are trying to figure out how there could be life on Mars. If that is the situiation, then you can only overcome it by seeing if there might have been water on Mars in the past.

Is it true that the surface of mars has long gullies that may have been caused by flowing water?

That is true; these gullies have been seen by Mars landers.


When we left Mars why did we bring all of the water here?

No person has ever been to Mars. No spacecraft has ever surveyed Mars and returned to earth. No spacecraft has ever landed on Mars and lifted off again. No liquid water has ever been observed on Mars, and no samples have ever been removed from its surface. In conclusion, we frankly don't know what the question is talking about.


What forms of water are found in Mars?

There are traces of rivers but there has not been an actual discovery of water on Mars. Scientists think the water may be frozen underneath the polar caps.


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.
