Detailed explanation-1: -Since there is no organic matter on Mars, there is technically no soil. The proper term for the surface material of Mars is regolith, which is a broad term for the loose material that covers the surface of some planets (Earth, Mars, Mercury) and Earth’s moon. Soil is a type of regolith.
Detailed explanation-2: -Is there water on Mars? There sure is! It’s not exactly like water on Earth but Martian H20 can tell us a lot about the planet’s distant past while potentially aiding explorers in the future. Some of the water is even trapped inside rocks!
Detailed explanation-3: -The surface of Mars today doesn’t seem like the sort of place hospitable to life. It is dry and cold, plunging down as far as-220 degrees Fahrenheit. Its thin atmosphere cannot block ultraviolet radiation from space, which would devastate any known living thing on the surface of the planet.
