Re: what`s really on Mars

I`m no Scientist but everytime i go on a site which purports to have found something significant on Mars, there is always another one to contradict it - often on the same site !     I know that Scientists disagree to some extent but can anyone, AT LAST,  tell me if the Martian poles are made up of water: how thick they are, does it really snow Co2 in winter there, are there really glaciers in the equatorial regions:  and how does water behave on Mars...?   can liquid water really run ??   Does it explode ?   Does it drift away into space ?  are there clouds of water ?   could there really be loads of water a few feet under ground ?  and why did it not evaporate with the rest ?    Or is all this "proof" really just conjecture to keep our suspense and interest ?    There is oviously something white and reflective on the poles but what exactly is it all about ?  Thank you.

Re: what`s really on Mars

The Martian poles are made of both CO2 and water ice.  The water ice is pemanent,  stacked in layers; and reaches a thickness of ~9000' in the North and ~10,000' in the South.  Yes, it does appear that it snows CO2 at the poles.

I would strongly recommend that you read A Travelers' Guide to Mars by William Hartmann. .  It is well written for the layman and should answer nearly all the questions that you ask.

Re: what`s really on Mars

I believe that inside of MARS there is an abundance of water and life.
