Yes. It has polar caps, which are clearly visible in telescopes. The water held there is frozen, or course. It does not appear to have any liquid water on its surface. There may be subsurface ice. The temperature is too low and the air is too thin for liquid water to exist on the surface of Mars. When the ice on Mars is exposed on the surface, it does not melt, it sublimes - it goes form the solid state to a vapor without becoming a liquid.

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.

What is the hydrosphere of mars?

The hydrosphere of Mars refers to all the water on or near the planet's surface, including liquid water, ice, and water vapor in the atmosphere. Currently, Mars has frozen water ice caps at its poles, as well as water ice and vapor in its thin atmosphere. There is evidence of ancient water flow on Mars, suggesting that liquid water was once present on its surface.
