But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick atmosphere, which kept it warm enough to support flowing water on its surface.

Mars is one of the most explored bodies in our solar system, and it's the only planet where we've sent rovers to explore the alien landscape

Nasa missions have found lots of evidence that mars was much wetter and warmer, with a thicker atmosphere, billions of years ago. Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system in order of distance from the sun and the seventh in size and mass It is a periodically conspicuous reddish object in the night sky Nasa’s perseverance rover has uncovered powerful new evidence that mars’ jezero crater once hosted multiple rounds of flowing water, each creating conditions that could have supported life.

A nasa mission is set to launch twin spacecraft on a journey to mars The robotic orbiters could lift off atop blue origin’s new glenn rocket as soon as sunday. As the fourth planet from the sun, mars is our terrestrial neighbor Though this cold and dusty world has many differences compared to earth, it also has many similarities
