2 dni temu · Right now, the surface of Mars is now extremely arid because the air is too thin for liquid water to last for long. The red planet’s atmospheric pressure is just roughly 1/100th of Earth’s and in such thin air water easily boils.

Mars contains water, though mostly as permafrost. As top surface layer water appears readily visible at some places, such as the polar Korolev Crater. Almost all water on Mars today exists as polar permafrost ice, though it also exists in small quantities as vapor in the atmosphere. [1]
There is water on Mars today, but the Martian atmosphere is too thin for liquid water to exist for long on the surface. Today, water on Mars is found in the form of water-ice just under the surface in the polar regions as well as in briny (salty) water, which seasonally flows down some hillsides and crater walls.
12 sie 2024 · Scientists have discovered a reservoir of liquid water on Mars - deep in the rocky outer crust of the planet. The findings come from a new analysis of data from Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander,...
12 sie 2024 · The results suggested that outside of the planet’s frozen polar regions, the martian crust is essentially devoid of water down to about 5 kilometers deep. But there likely is a 1- to 2-kilometer-thick layer of rock rich in liquid water between 11.5 and 20 kilometers below the surface.
28 wrz 2015 · New findings from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars. Using an imaging spectrometer on MRO, researchers detected signatures of hydrated minerals on slopes where mysterious streaks are seen on the Red Planet.
28 paź 2024 · The viscosity of LCO 2 is extremely low, 204 µPa-S at 230 K compared to 1,788 µPa-S at 273 K for water, and the density (~1.1 g cm −3) is 10% greater than that of water. Also, the density of ...
