On Mars, on the contrary, the "air" has many small particles that scatter red light very well, but in the west they filter it out even more and mostly blue light reaches the surface.
How the surface of Mars is changing
If you look at the famous canyons of Mars, it becomes clear that everything is not so simple with this planet and it is not as monotonous as it seems. Such details look simply fantastic.
The weathered canyons on the surface of the Red Planet are about benin number data 250 kilometers long and are constantly changing, but they do so so slowly that we will not have enough life to see even some serious changes.
The canyons provide insight into how the surface of Mars was shaped and what layers of rock formed at different stages. They are literally a snapshot of the planet's past.
Teardrop-shaped formations on Mars
There used to be rain on Mars. Some scientists say it used to be common. Now it's gone, but there are drops. Giant drops found in Copernicus crater.
In fact, they're usually nothing more than a droplet. They're simply droplet-shaped dunes made up of a mineral called olivine, a magnesium-iron silicate that's found in igneous rocks and the Earth's mantle.
on the Earth's surface because it weathers quickly, especially when exposed to moisture and turns into clay.
Because the surface of Mars is very dry, olivine dunes can remain on the surface for a very long time and remain virtually unchanged.
Of course, there are other interesting things on Mars. That is why the planet attracts millions of researchers, but it is not yet so accessible to us. In the nearest future, humanity plans to create research colonies on Mars. Only then will we be able to say that we have learned it a little better. So far, there are more questions than answers, but today you have learned a little more.
However, there is not much olivine
