Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mars is known to host large quantities of water in solid or gaseous form, and surface rocks show clear evidence that there was liquid water on the planet in the distant past.
Detailed explanation-2: -The red planet once had a global ocean, rivers, and lakes. Then, the solar wind-charged particles from the Sun-stripped away the Martian atmosphere. As the planet’s protective shield faded, all liquid water on the surface evaporated into space, merged with minerals, or fled underground to become water ice.
