Climate change on Mars has affected the planet's ability to trap and absorb solar energy, with re-radiated heat powering the huge dust storms.
Martian dust storms, according to scientists, spread across the surface of Mars, as discovered by recent probes.
Mars is well-known for its seasonal dust storms, which can sometimes grow to encompass the entire planet.
Mars also experienced global warming and climate change
A seasonal imbalance in the amount of solar energy absorbed and released by the planet Mars is a likely cause of the dust storms that have long intrigued observers, a team of researchers reports.
