Mars winter turns carbon dioxide into snow and ice, cycling 25% of the atmosphere and changing circulation across the planet

Mars’ winter atmosphere transforms as carbon dioxide freezes onto polar regions. These seasonal caps hold a substantial portion of the planet’s atmosphere. Roughly a quarter of Mars’ atmosphere cycles through these caps annually. This process powerfully influences atmospheric circulation across the entire planet. Scientists study these caps to understand Martian atmospheric and surface interactions.
