This planet is forth out from the Sun. The atmosphere is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, with a surface "air" pressure similar to that, found at an altitude of 43 Km on Earth. average surface temperature of -50° C. Without an Ozone layer to protect it, the surface receives the full force of space radiation. The painting here depicts the last waters on Mars, this view could have been seen from any of the myriad canyon systems that characterize this planet. At the end of the planets postulated wet period, some 3 billion years ago, the ubiquitous dust clouds, that can cover the planet for months at a time are moving in.
