Mars' cloudy sky as seen by Perseverance rover in 2023, sol 738.. The climate of Mars has been a topic of scientific curiosity for centuries, in part because it is the only terrestrial planet whose surface can be easily directly observed in detail from the Earth with help from a telescope.
In summer 1965, the first close-up images from Mars showed a cratered desert with no signs of water. [1] [2] [3] However, over the decades, as more parts of the planet were imaged with better cameras on more sophisticated satellites, Mars showed evidence of past river valleys, lakes and present ice in glaciers and in the ground.

Lake effect snow is forecast to wallop the already snow-buried Great Lakes region, while much of the continental U.S. will experience below-freezing temperatures over the next few days.
Lake-effect snow for the Great Lakes. Heavy lake-effect snow is falling downwind from the Great Lakes on Thursday, the weather service said. Locations where 12-24 inches of snow will pile up ...
1995 photo of Mars showing approximate size of the polar caps. The planet Mars has two permanent polar ice caps of water ice and some dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide, CO 2).Above kilometer-thick layers of water ice permafrost, slabs of dry ice are deposited during a pole's winter, [1] [2] lying in continuous darkness, causing 25–30% of the atmosphere being deposited annually at either of the ...
Snow to belt the Great Lakes. Snow will still fly this weekend in the snow belt regions of the Great Lakes: "The persistent flow of arctic (air) over the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes ...
Mars has an axial tilt of 25.19°, quite close to the value of 23.44° for Earth, and thus Mars has seasons of spring, summer, autumn, winter as Earth does. As on Earth, the southern and northern hemispheres have summer and winter at opposing times. However, the orbit of Mars has significantly greater eccentricity than that of Earth. Therefore ...
As Christmas nears closer and more winter weather approaches, here is the latest look at the snowfall forecasts for key areas around the Great Lakes. Grand Rapids, Michigan snow forecast
