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 Earth with help from a telescope.
During a year, there are large surface temperature swings on the surface between −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F) to 5.7 °C (42.3 °F) [c] similar to Earth's seasons, as both planets have significant axial tilt, Earth at 23.5 degrees and Mars at 25 degrees. Mars was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago.
Blustery, bitter cold temperatures were felt in two-thirds of the country recently and yes, it was cold but not the coldest place on Earth. There's one spot, that came close to the surface of a ...
Highest average monthly temperature: 42.3 °C (108.1 °F), in Death Valley, California, for the month of July 2018. [ 195 ] [ 196 ] Highest temperature north of the Arctic Circle: 38.0 °C (100.4 °F) in Verkhoyansk , Russia on 20 June 2020.
Low Temperatures. Nation's northern half: Lows in the single digits, teens and 20s in February give way to 20s, 30s and 40s by April, and 40s and 50s for most in May. Southern states: February ...
Hawaii is the only state to not record a subzero temperature: The coldest temperature recorded in Hawaii is 12 degrees at the Mauna Kea Observatory, at an elevation of 13,796 feet, on May 17, 1979.
It has 24 months to accommodate the longer Martian year while keeping the notion of a "month" that is reasonably similar to the length of an Earth month. On Mars, a "month" would have no relation to the orbital period of any moon of Mars, since Phobos and Deimos orbit in about 7 hours and 30 hours
The Memnonia quadrangle is one of a series of 30 quadrangle maps of Mars used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Research Program. The Memnonia quadrangle is also referred to as MC-16 (Mars Chart-16). [1] The quadrangle is a region of Mars that covers latitude -30° to 0° and longitude 135° to 180°. [2]
