Noctilucent clouds on Mars




It is assumed that its inner core cooled more quickly because it is a smaller planet, I am referring to Mars and with this it no longer has continental drift, nor does it have in fact, it is not considered that there were continents on Mars at any time, it is a topic that is under debate, but we have an image that is a bit poetic.


Clouds on Mars, colored clouds, unfortunately they have it in black and white, they could have managed to add a few color filters. but you can see a little red, they are noctilucent or crepuscular clouds, this type of clouds also exist on Earth, they occur at high altitudes, at 50,000 meters high, that they occur on Mars is quite logical, because Mars has an atmosphere, but it is very, very weak, and much less dense than that of the Earth.

It is calculated that by comparison it would be similar to that of the Earth, but at about 30,000 or 40,000 meters high it would be the type of atmosphere that we would find atmospheric density, therefore, this type of clouds that form on Earth in an area of the Earth's atmosphere with very little atmospheric density, it is logical that they can form on Mars since there is very little density.


The white columns, the white lines that we are seeing are clouds specifically of carbon dioxide ice, because the Martian atmosphere is also fundamentally composed of carbon dioxide, there is very little oxygen, practically nothing, there are traces of water vapor but very little, carbon dioxide normally evaporates near the Martian surface although at the poles it can snow and in the large Martian volcanoes at altitude there can be frost and not of carbon dioxide but of water, water frost, just like the terrestrial, unfortunately it lasts very little and is a small amount.
