The ice on Mars is visible from Earth as white polar caps. This ice is perhaps mostly frozen CO2 (dry ice) but contains a substantial amount of water ice (H20) We know there is water ice there because water has a distinctive spectral and radar signature.
It isn't surprising that there is water ice on Mars. Water is one of the simplest and most common substances.
mars. now tell me why they think that?
Scientists have proven that liquid water once existed on Mars. Currently Mars is too cold and atmospheric pressure is too low for water to remain liquid, so both temperature and surface pressure must have been higher.
Scientists think Mars was once like Earth due to evidence of past water activity, such as dried up river channels, shorelines, and minerals that can only form in the presence of water. Additionally, Mars has a similar geological history to Earth, with evidence of plate tectonics and volcanic activity. These clues suggest that Mars may have had a more Earth-like environment in its distant past.
Scientists are intrigued by Mars because it may have once had conditions suitable for life. They are particularly interested in studying Mars to learn more about its geology, atmosphere, and potential for habitability. Mars is seen as a key target for future exploration to better understand the potential for life beyond Earth.
Snow and ice on Mars can be found at the polar ice caps, where water ice is known to be present. Additionally, snow and ice may be found in regions where water ice deposits exist just beneath the surface. These locations may experience seasonal changes in the amount of ice present.

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.
Many scientists believe that Europa may hold water, or at least ice which could mean there is a possibility of life on one of Jupiter's moons.
None that is known. It has been suggested that there may once of been life on Mars, but most scientists think it is unlikely that there is any life there now.

It May be possible to live ON Mars as they have found Ice. But Probbebly not IN mars.
It may have oceans of liquid water under its layers of water ice. Scientists want to know if these oceans (assuming they are there) contain any forms of life.
Hi there. I am not sure whether it has rained on mars before, but scientists have discoved some ice on mars before, which means there is water somewhere. But whether it has actually rained before... I don't think so... or else, why would there be ICE on the GROUND?
Because its rocks clearly show that it once had oceans made of liquid water.
The scientists think that Europa can have the life on it.

About 2 years. Scientists say it may take 1 year to get to Mars
