Mars apparently used to get a ton of rain. That planet once had liquid water. Scientists have thought that for a long time and there is still ice to show it. It s now too cold for anything but ice, though. Apparently the rain on Mars used to affect our own planet. It’s interesting to think about how our landscape was shaped and this sheds some light on it. Mars is the closest planet to earth and people are fascinated by it.

Key Takeaways:

• It was known that water existed on Mars, both frozen and, as the Curiosity rover discovered, liquid.
• Geographers from Northern Illinois University did a planet-wide study and found that features of the Martian landscape indicate there was once a huge amount of liquid water and a hydrologic cycle.
• What still needs to be explained is how this was possible on a planet as cold as Mars.

“Oceans on Mars may have been more vast than we thought, a new study has suggested.”
