Introduction:
Mars Is The Planet Most Similar To The Earth In The
Solar System In That It Has A Solid Surface And An Appreciable Amount Of Atmosphere With Moderate Temperatures, And That There Is Evidence Of Liquid Water
Activity, Volcanic Activity And Possible Habitability.
In Recent Decades Many Mars Missions Have Been
Conducted To Reveal The Planet’S Evolution And The
Current Climate. Tough The Current Mars Is A Dry And
Cold World That Includes A Significant Amount Of Frozen Surface/Subsurface Water Resources, Geological
Evidence Obtained By The Spacecraft Suggests That
Mars May Have Sustained A Wet And Warm World In
The Past Under The Influence Of A Greenhouse Effect
