Mars Could Have Been Warm and wet, While Earth was Still a Glowing Ball of Molten Rock universetoday storybywill
To answer this question, astronomers have been trying to reconstruct what Mars’ atmosphere was like billions of years ago. A popular method used by Martian missions involves collecting samples and analyzing them for their deuterium-to-hydrogen ratios , or the number of deuterium atoms in a sample divided by the number of normal hydrogen atoms. This method allows scientists to gauge the prevalence of molecular hydrogen in Mars’ atmosphere over time, which is a powerful greenhouse gas. As Prof.

Kornmesser These oceans were stable and would have remained on the Martian surface for many eons before the atmospheric hydrogen was gradually lost to space. As Dr. Pahlevan“This key insight – that water vapor condenses and is retained on early Mars whereas molecular hydrogen does not condense and can escape – allows the model to be linked directly to measurements made by spacecraft, specifically, the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity.
