6. Is it really ice made of H2O or just something that looks like ice?
|
And what does this mean?
Is Mars earth after global warming??? |

7. Ice isn't necessarily water ice.
|
However, in the little snippet from NASA someone posted above, it was stated that this is a picture of water ice.
Earth after global warming? They're two different planets. All it means is that there's water on Mars (which does mean quite a lot, in fact). |

It is well-known that water ice exists on Mars in large quantities.
