Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) by India captures breathtaking footage of icy and dusty cloud concentrations above Olympus Mons, the largest volcano on Mars. These clouds are formed due to the variation in atmospheric temperature, particularly at higher elevations near the summit of Olympus Mons. Cooler temperatures in this region create conditions suitable for the condensation of water vapor, leading to the formation of ice particles that aggregate to form the observed icy clouds. Rendered visuals to compare the normal conditions of Olympus Mons volcano with the one that has clouds above. They showcase the dynamic atmospheric phenomena present on the Red Planet. The altitude and duration of these clouds are influenced by the unique topography of Olympus Mons volcano and its proximity to the Martian equator. As the temperature decreases and atmospheric pressure increases near the volcano, freeze on dust particles forming ice crystals. These ice crystals, along with suspended dust particles, then come together to create the clouds seen on the series of images.

If I recall correctly, the Moon has approximately 1/6 the Gravity of Earth. What is the approximations of the Gravity of Mars as compared to Earth's?
Is there any Correlation of a Certain Planet's Atmosphere versus it's Gravity? Or, is that totally unrelated?
I'm 74 and have been doing serious telescope observing since 1992, although an enthusiast from the age of nine. During the close 2003 or '04 Mars apparition, one of my proudest observing achievements with my 10" f/6 McCoy reflector was detecting Olympus Mons several times over a few weeks. In terms of planetary observing, the only rivals were detecting the Encke Gap of Saturn (the only discernible gap outside of the Cassini division) and, of course, the bullet holes in Jupiter caused by the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact event in July 1994. I probably should add the telescope observations of Comet Hyakutake, which I was able to view physically moving through the star field at high power as it passed overhead.Β
It is amazing what the eye, as an optical instrument, can see, with the aid of a perfectly corrected glass surface coated with a layer of aluminum a few atoms thick, and s few more pieces of glass no bigger than split peas, between your eye and something unfathomable distances away.
Itz look like a pimpersπ
We know that it makes sense that there's weather on Mars, but to see it is still breathtaking.
My sister used to get them on her bum an she couldn't sit down π
Wir sollten andere Planeten besiedeln, bevor wir uns hier in diese Planeten Erde auslΓΆschen.
Why this sound
Hot…& Cold… Clouds… π€
Biggest mountain in our solar system
Mars…just another Dead, Cold, Radioactive Shithole Planet that Human's will never travel to. Mars is simply Suicide for Humans to attempt.
