Martian dust storms can vary in scale from local to global, affecting the planet’s climate and visibility. Here are some notable Martian storms:

2018 Global Dust Storm: Blocked sunlight reaching the surface and covered Opportunity rover’s solar panels, leading to its end of mission; may be related to a peculiar energy imbalance recently discovered across the Martian surface.

The solar system’s planets and moons absorb energy from the sun, but they also emit energy back into space. The difference between these two is called the radiative energy budget, or REB. “The REB and its spatial distribution [across latitudes] directly influence the thermal characteristics of the surface and atmosphere” of planets, this means a planet’s Radiation Energy determines its climate.

There’s “an energy surplus in the tropics and an energy deficit in the polar regions,” said. Earth’s annual REB is largely balanced, with the amount of solar energy absorbed roughly balancing the heat radiated little known Marian REB, has not determined if it is balanced. Theory suggests it should

Two weather patterns that tend to occur every year on Mars known as “A” and “C” storms. Observations from the Mars Climate Sounder instrument aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter over eight Mars years (15 years on Earth). |Astronomers Pieris and Hayne looked for periods of unusual warmth, weeks when more sunlight filtered through Mars’ thin atmosphere.

Roughly 68% of major storms on the planet were preceded by a sharp rise in temperatures at the surface. In other words, the planet heated up, then a few weeks later, conditions got dusty. Mars might wait for clear air to get to form major dust storms. The team can’t prove that those balmy conditions actually cause the dust storms. Similar phenomena triggers storms on Earth. During hot summers in Boulder, Colorado, for example, warm air near the ground can rise through the atmosphere, often form towering, grey clouds that signal rain.

2007 Global Dust Storm: Affected NASA’s Spirit and Opportunity rovers, causing them to go into survival mode for several weeks. Mars is infamous for intense dust storms, which sometimes kick up enough dust to be seen by telescopes on Earth. Michael Smith, a planetary scientist at Goddard “Every year there are some moderately big dust storms that pop up on Mars that cover continent-sized areas and last for weeks at a time,” “Once every three Mars years (about 5 ½ Earth years), on average, normal storms grow into planet-encircling dust storms, ‘global dust storms’ to distinguish them,”  unlikely to tip or rip apart major mechanical equipment. The strongest Martian storms top out at about 60 miles per hour, less than half the speed of some hurricane-force winds on Earth.

The atmosphere on Mars is about 1 percent as dense as Earth’s atmosphere. To fly a kite on Mars, the wind would need to blow much faster for the same intensity. Individual dust particles on Mars are very small and slightly electrostatic, so they stick to the surfaces they contact like Styrofoam particles dust settling on and in machinery is a challenge for engineers. Dust devils only a few feet across (much smaller than traditional storms) can move enough dust to cover the equipment, sweeping dust off his solar panels to ensure maximum efficiency would represent a real challenge to astronauts.

Large global dust storms put enough dust in the air to completely cover the planet and block out the sun, ending the storm. Larger storms typically only happen during summer in Mars’ southern hemisphere. Mars’ orbit is less circular than Earth’s; the planet is closer to the sun and significantly hotter in the southern hemisphere radiative heat forces are strongest then.

Once started, bigger storms can last weeks to months. “We’re overdue for a global dust storm and it could be saving up a really big one this year,”

2019 North Polar Dust Storms: Captured by ESA’s Mars Express, showing Earth-like cloud patterns and cellular convection. Mars Express has revealed that Mars churns up surprisingly Earth-like cloud patterns.

ESA’s Mars Express has revealed that Mars churns up surprisingly Earth-like cloud patterns that are reminiscent of those in our planet’s tropical regions. Earth and Mars have vastly different atmospheres. The dry, cold atmosphere of Mars is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide while Earth’s is rich in nitrogen and oxygen. Its atmospheric density is less than one fiftieth of Earth’s atmosphere (equivalent to the density found at about 35 km above Earth’s surface) their cloud patterns have been found to be surprisingly Earth-like.

This stuff leads to a blief that hey relationship between Martian Storms and bad earthquakews may be related. All I have to do is prove it, wouldn’t it ne nice if it could give us advice about disasters before they occur. Not only a means of salvation but an indication of our desire to extend REden heavenwards might be acceptable t.o Jehovah.

And, there’s more.
