Frost Found at Mars Equator

Scientists were surprised to find frost at the equator of Mars, where it was thought impossible due to high temperatures.

This frost, thinner than a human hair, appears for a few hours around sunrise and disappears as the sun rises.

It was found on top of huge volcanoes in a region called Tharsis.

The frost forms because of special conditions created by the volcanoes, which trap cold air and allow the frost to form.

This discovery shows that Mars has unique processes that allow frost to exist in unexpected places.
