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

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.


Who discovered water on Mars?

While historians maintain that the water cycle, or hydrological cycle was discovered over several painstaking years, the man most accredited for recording the information is Bernard Palissy. If you might be religious about this it does mention about this in the Bible. Read Job 36: 27-29. (Thanks to ID1191356232)


If Mars did have liquid water at one time what happened to it and why?

Mars likely lost its liquid water due to a combination of factors such as its thin atmosphere, lack of a global magnetic field, and loss of heat from its interior over time. These factors led to the water evaporating into space or freezing beneath the surface. Today, most of Mars' water is believed to be frozen in polar ice caps or underground reservoirs.


Is there water present on mars?

ALJA IMAM:-my answer is that scientents have found alots of frozen water underground mars and hopefully they will found life on Mars. And they have also found a bunch of micro organisms there, because of the micro organisms and also the under ground water.And also a very important fact ice is also three so because of that scientents can found water there.The cold animals can live there and the small creatures can live there because for them I think all things are sutible for them. Some scientists think that they're is water underneath the surface, but some do not. I would not know for I have not been to Mars, but that is what some scientists think. As for the person above me, animals would not be able to live on Mars for Mars does not have the Oxygen that they need, and the other gases that are needed. Mars does not have the greenhouse affect, and that is needed also.


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.

Why do micro organisims survive on mars?

We don't know that they do. Evidence of running water some time in the past has been found on the surface of Mars, but as yet no direct evidence of the past or present existence of micro-organisms.


Does in Mars exist water?

There was water at one time on Mars.


What may have flowed at one time on mars?

There is a lot of visible evidence on Mars revealed by the various Mars landers, that water - a lot of water - flowed at one time on the planet.


What is the evidance that suggests the past and present existence of surface water on mars?

Evidence for the past existence of surface water on Mars includes features like dried-up river channels, lake beds, and mineral deposits that form in the presence of water. Present evidence includes the detection of hydrated minerals and recurring slope lineae, which are dark streaks on Martian slopes that appear to change over time, possibly indicating the presence of briny water.


Is there any warter on Jupiter?

No, the only planet that we know of that has water is Earth, though there is recent evidence that Mars could possibly have had water at one time.

What is the first sign of life on Mars?

Currently, there are none. But Mars at one time had an atmosphere (or rather, much more of an atmosphere than it does now) and Mars also had water - seemingly a lot of water. The #1 question astronomers have about Mars today is: Did Mars at one time have life?


What was the astronauts theory to find out there was water on mars?

The astronomers suppose that the water is frozen underground there. Long time ago Mars was warmer and water flows out. That's why the Curiosity car found peeblestones on the surface of Mars.


Does it take mars a long time to amount of time?

i dont exactly know what you mean about the time


Where did the water go on Mars?

Scientists believe as time passed, the atmosphere on Mars thinned and the pressure decreased. This caused all the water on the planet to evaporate.


Does mars have any water?

it used to, like a long time ago.


What phenomena confirms life on mars?

None, there is no life on Mars at this time. However evidence that Mars once may have had flowing water in some areas, suggests that it might briefly have had life for a short period of time, a couple billion years ago before losing this water. However there is nothing that proves that Mars actually had life at any time.
