There really is not a definitive answer. It was only confirmed in 2008 that the areas of the ice layers that were tested contained water, and not carbon dioxide or other materials. This still does not confirm that the entire layer is water based. There are still others that contend the layer is actually a mineral called mirabilite (Na2SO4 · 10 H2O), which contains water.

How much more surface area does Earth have then Mars?
Mars only has about 28% the surface area of the Earth. What's interesting is that number matches the land area of Earth, so the total surface of Mars is roughly the same as the dry land surface of Earth.

Is Mars bigger than Asia?
Yes, Mars is larger than Asia. Mars has a diameter of about 6,779 kilometers, while Asia, the largest continent on Earth, covers an area of approximately 44.58 million square kilometers. However, when comparing their sizes, Mars has a volume of about 163 billion cubic kilometers, significantly surpassing the land area of Asia.

What is the land area of Mars in acres?
The surface area of Mars is appx. 3.57804886 × 1010 acres
How much dry land does Mars have?
All of the surface of Mars can be classified as dry land, even the frozen polar caps, because there is no liquid water on the surface of Mars. The total area of land on Mars is nearly the same as the "land" area of Earth, about 144,798,750 km2.
How much more surface area does Earth have then Mars?
Mars only has about 28% the surface area of the Earth. What's interesting is that number matches the land area of Earth, so the total surface of Mars is roughly the same as the dry land surface of Earth.
What planet is much smaller than earth and its surface area is about the same as the land surface area of earth?
Is it the planet Mars.
Why do Earth and Mars have the same amount of dry land?
All of Mars is "dry land" (even under the ice caps of frozen water and frozen carbon dioxide), while most of the Earth's surface (71%) is covered by water. So even though Mars has only 28% of Earth's surface area, the amount of dry land is about the same (144.8 million km2 compared to Earth's 144.9 million km2).
What is the size of Mars planet?
Mars' diameter is about half that of the Earth and it's mass is only 10% of the Earth's.The total surface area of Mars is about the same as the total land area of the Earth.
