Hi - I am a PhD student studying water on Earth and Mars! Happy to be here.
What is the Presence of Water on Earth and Mars?
- Thread starter wildonion
- Start date
In summary, water is an essential component for life on Earth and recent discoveries have shown that it also exists on Mars. While Earth has a significant amount of liquid water on its surface, Mars only has traces of it in the form of ice and vapor. However, evidence such as ancient riverbeds and mineral deposits suggest that Mars may have had a denser atmosphere and flowing water in the past. The presence of water on both planets raises the possibility of microbial life and the potential for future human exploration and colonization.
