Mars Clouds Drier Than Thought

Recent studies suggest that Mars clouds contain less water than previously estimated. In analyzing in further detail, scientists determine that these clouds are somewhat similar to earth's clouds. "The clouds under study are made of water ice, like some clouds on Earth. However, they are forming at very cold temperatures, often below minus 100 degrees Celsius (minus 148 degrees Fahrenheit," said Tony Colaprete of NASA's Ames Research Center. This analysis is important to scientists because in planning for a man to visit the moon, we must understand Mars and its climate. We must understand all the aspects of it in order to make preparations for it.
