Difference between Mars and earth?

Mars is a cold, dry planet with a thin atmosphere, while Earth has a moderate climate, liquid water, and a thick atmosphere. Earth has a diverse range of life forms, while Mars has no known life. The length of a day on Mars is slightly longer than a day on Earth.


Why do people look for evidence of water on Mars?

People look for evidence of water on Mars because water is crucial for life as we know it. Finding water on Mars could indicate the potential for past or current life on the planet, as well as provide insights into Mars' history, climate, and potential for future exploration and colonization.


Why is earth like mars?

Earth and Mars are both terrestrial planets with similar properties such as having solid surfaces and thin atmospheres. They also both have polar ice caps and evidence of past water flows on their surfaces. However, Mars has a thinner atmosphere, lower gravity, and is further from the sun, leading to colder temperatures and differences in geology and climate.


What weather conditions does Mars have?

Mars has a cold and dry climate with temperatures ranging from about -195°F (-125°C) in winter to around 70°F (20°C) in summer. The planet experiences dust storms that can cover the entire planet and last for months. Mars also has water ice clouds and frost that can form at higher altitudes.


Does the other planets in our solar system have rapid climate changes?

I recently read an eye opening article on solar climate change. I never really thought about climate change from a solar system point of view. After reading the article, it does seem apparent that other planets in our solar system are going through a rapid climate change along with earth. It makes me think now that humans may not be the problem as the issue is not just related to earth.
