The size of the planet and the temperature of its upper atmosphere determines the rate of loss.<br /><br /><strong><keyword id="6358064" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="isro">ISRO</keyword>’s MOM tracks planet-encircling storm on Mars<br /></strong>ISRO pegs Mars’ atmospheric deterioration to be faster than Earth’s because it’s much smaller. However, the planet-encircling dust storms in its upper atmosphere raise the atmospheric temperatures within the Red Planet’s upper atmosphere by several degrees. The impact of this is multifold.<br /><br />MOM started to observe a global dust storm building up within the Martian upper atmosphere during the first week of June 2018. By July, the storm had matured. <br /><br /><div type="image" title="ISRO_MAVEN_around Mars_edited" msid="78824056" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;An artistic impression of the Mars upper atmospheric expansion due to the global dust storm.

The neutral densities within Mars thermosphere had also increased significantly — something that has also been observed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission. <br /><br /><strong>MOM and MAVEN team up on opposite sides of the Red Planet<br /></strong>While MOM was observing the Red Planet’s evening side, MAVEN was observing the morning side. And comparing the results of the two shows that the argon densities measured by MOM were consistently larger than those measured by MAVEN. <br /><br />According to ISRO, the difference is mainly due to atmospheric circulation, which causes warming on the evening side and cooling on the morning side.<br /><br />Understanding how Mars is losing its atmosphere and the impact that loss is having on the planet can prove integral in the attempt to have humans on the Red Planet someday. NASA’s Perseverance probe is currently travelling across the solar system with three fabric samples that may be used one day to build the spacesuits that astronauts will wear on Mars.<br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:<br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/trump-calls-india-china-and-russia-filthy-while-justifying-exit-from-paris-agreement/articleshow/78821267.cms">Trump calls India, China and Russia ‘filthy’ while justifying exit from Paris Agreement</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/paytm-uses-jeff-bezos-secret-for-success-building-two-pizza-teams/articleshow/78810520.cms">EXCLUSIVE: Paytm uses Jeff Bezos' secret for success — building 'two pizza' teams</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/tech-mahindra-may-show-signs-of-recovery-in-the-second-quarter-much-depends-on-5g-and-bpo-business-outlook/articleshow/78807765.cms">Tech Mahindra may show signs of recovery in the second quarter — much depends on 5G and BPO business outlook</a></strong>

The lander's built-in seismometer detected its first quake in April, and since then, researchers have recorded dozens more potential Mars quakes.</p><p>The nature of this shaking is changing what scientists thought they knew about the red planet.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><p>So far, the biggest surprise is that seismic waves on Mars more closely resemble moon quakes than earthquakes - which probably means Mars' crust is more dry and broken up than we thought.</p><p>"So far, we have assumed that the crust of Mars is similar to the Earth's crust," Simon Stähler, a Mars seismology researcher at ETH Zurich, said in a <a href="https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8430/nasas-insight-detects-first-likely-quake-on-mars/?site=insight">press release</a>. "The fact that the wave form of the Mars quakes resembles the moon quakes gives us for the first time a picture of how the Martian crust is internally structured. Until now, we could only look at it from the outside." <span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><h2>Mars, the moon, and Earth quake for different reasons</h2><p>Studying seismic activity helps scientists piece together the history of how rocky planets formed in our solar system. On Earth, for example, tracking how seismic waves move through the planet's interior helped researchers calculate the size of its core.</p><p>Reading the seismic waves on Mars, scientists hope, will reveal clues about what the plant's inside looks like and how it's changing.&#xa0;</p><p>"Seismology is how you get the details," Mark Panning, a seismologist on the NASA InSight team, told Business Insider.</p><p>Not all quakes are created equal. When the Earth shakes, it's because tectonic plates in the crust are clashing at fault lines. Mars doesn't have tectonic plates, though. So scientists think Mars quakes probably come from a constant internal-cooling process, which happens inside most rocky planets. As the core cools, the material contracts, which causes stress to build. This eventually cracks the crust and causes a quake.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><p>Seismic waves from quakes - regardless of the cause - also travel on different paths and at different rates, depending on what type of material they're moving through.&#xa0;</p><p>On Earth, the source of seismic waves is easily detectable, since the crust is comprised of relatively uniform, solid rock (which has been melted and re-paved by volcanic activity over millions of years). That rock also has water in it, which absorbs energy, causing waves to die out faster. That's why earthquakes last for just a few minutes.</p><p>On the moon, however, quakes can last longer than an hour.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><p>"A moon quake builds up for minutes, then decays away for an hour or more. So it looks very different," Panning said. "The reason moonquakes look that way is because the moon's surface is really dry and really broken up. It's been basically sitting there for billions of years and getting hit by meteorites."</p><p>Still, researchers expected quakes on Mars to fall more on the Earth-like end of the spectrum. That's because they thought the planets had similar crusts, given that Mars once had plenty of volcanic activity and water.</p><p>But the initial data suggests that may not be the case.</p><h2>How Mars quakes are changing scientists' understanding of the red planet&#xa0;</h2><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><p>So far, the length of Mars quakes seems to fall somewhere in the middle of the moon's and Earth's, at about 10 to 20 minutes. Mars also appears to be a little more seismically active than the moon, but a lot less than Earth.</p><p>Mars' seismic waves also reverberate more than waves on Earth, and more similarly to moon quakes.</p><p>"It's bouncing off all of these broken-up bits, so that gives you something that lasts a long time," Panning said.&#xa0;</p><p>This suggests that Mars' crust has layers of rugged, dry, broken-up rock like the moon's.&#xa0;</p><p>The artist's representation below shows how seismic waves from a Mars quake might move through the red planet's interior.</p><p>&#xa0;</p><p>The <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/what-does-a-marsquake-look-like/">animation</a>, made by an InSight <a href="https://seg.ethz.ch/people/person-detail.html?persid=185421">seismologist</a> at <a href="https://ethz.ch/en.html">ETH Zurich</a>, shows the different types of waves the InSight team is studying. The blue waves are the initial bouncy pulses that spread out quickly from the quake's source. The red ones follow as a result, and seismologists can use the lag between them to calculate how far away the quake's source is.</p><p>The long waves of red and white that spread along the sides of the animation are surface waves that bounce through crust material - their reverberations suggested the moon-like qualities of Mars' crust.</p><p>The researchers expected Mars' crust to be more dry and broken than Earth's, but not quite this much. They don't know yet what to make of the new finding.</p><h2>Much more to learn</h2><p>A few dozen Mars quakes aren't enough to reveal the red planet's secrets, however.</p><p>"The biggest thing that we can do with the pretty small number of events we've seen so far is really understand how active Mars is now," Panning said. "That's telling you a lot of information on how Mars is evolving over time."</p><p>So far, the signals from Mars quakes have also been too faint to offer information about the internal structure of the planet below its crust. A person standing on Mars would not have been able to feel any of the shaking InSight's tools picked up.</p><p>In fact, a team of InSight seismologists in Zurich had to amplify those seismic signals by a factor of 10 million in order to accurately simulate the shaking on the scale of an earthquake.</p><p>&#xa0;</p><p>For these reasons, the InSight team is still waiting for a big quake<span style="font-weight: 400;"> that travels through the planet's core.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Then we can start actually making detailed pictures of what the Martian interior looks like," Panning said. "There's a waiting game right now. We're going to be listening for another year and a half, so we're expecting to see a lot more things."</span></p><p>In the meantime, the InSight team trying to fix the lander's "mole," a tool that's supposed to dig down 16 feet and take Mars' temperature. The mole <a href="https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8419/more-testing-for-mars-insights-mole/?site=insight">stopped working properly</a> in February.</p><p>In the future, Panning would like to see sensors on every planetary body that quakes, especially <a href="https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/13020/the-moon-with-the-plume/">Enceladus</a>, a moon of Saturn from which plumes of water shoot out. Even better than one seismometer: a whole network of them.</p><p>"Seismology on Earth is almost entirely built on networks of data," Panning said. "I'd love to put seismometers everywhere."</p><div><div style="position:relative; padding-bottom:calc(56.29% + 44px)"></div></div><div></div><div></div>

Scientists have detected dozens of potential Mars quakes -&#160;and the early data suggests Mars may be less Earth-like than we thought

<p>NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has been exploring the Red Planet for more than a decade, and just last year set a new record for traveling farther than any other off-world rover in history.</p><p>The rover has driven more than 25 miles on the surface of Mars and during its travels it has taken countless selfies and panoramas, but perhaps the most stunning images in its collection are of this blue Martian sunset, which NASA has compiled into this stunning movie, shown in the Vine below.</p><div><div></div></div><p>&#xa0;</p><p>Opportunity has been exploring a region near Mars' equator, where an average temperature on a summer day can reach up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Not bad for a planet more than 140 million miles from the sun. However, without any clouds and only a thin atmosphere to help insulate the planet, after the sun sets, Mars temperatures readily drop to minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit.</p><p>And the blue sun in the stunning sunset above is a chilling reminder of the cold temperatures that will follow. The reason that Mars' sky appears red during the day and ignites with a brilliant blue during sunset is because of the red dust drifting through the thin atmosphere.</p><p>"The blue color comes from the way Mars' dust scatters light. The blue light is scattered less, and so it stays near the sun in the sky, while red and green are all over the sky," said Mark Lemmon, an associate professor of planetary sciences at Texas A&amp;M University, in a <a href="http://geonews.tamu.edu/latestnews/778-martian-sunsets-dusty-and-blue-not-like-earths.html">university state mtn</a>.
